We recently upgraded to a version of Office 365 which gave us access to the desktop apps, on the basis we had 25 users to upgrade which was more cost effective than buying OEM or off the shelf copies and keeps us bang up to date. It was only when we found that Sage do not support the downloaded version (Office 2019 if you wish) that we then ran into trouble as I mention in my OP, it is not a supported combination. Moving to another accountancy package is not an option. Sage is the defacto Standard in accountancy and used throughout the industry. The office deployment tool is the only option for us at this time. We will have to disable updates as well as we could end up, inadvertently, with an unsupported installation in the future.

Absolutely understand - and I have come across this scenario several times previously. Good that you will use the Office Deployment Tool going forward. To note, you can also control office versions with Microsoft Intune if you have it.
