Yes, I think this is possible, although it may need some work sanitizing AD.

1.) Setup Azure AD Connect to make sure that all users are in Azure AD. This will mean that all 5000 (2000 already on AAD and 3000 on another AD) are there. Everyone in your organisation.

2.) Use the New Power App Profile+ (currently in preview)

Teams Real Simple with Pictures: Getting Hands on with Profile+ – @Microsoft365Pro

This app

- Will show in Teams

- Can be pinned to the left app rail with App setup policies

- Will show Azure AD information (Email, Phone Number)

- Will show manager and direct reports

- You can search for any user in the organisation

It would take a bit of work: the main part being sanitizing AD and making sure everything in Azure AD is up to date (E.g. numbers, managers etc.)

However, I am confident this is approximating what you are looking for. My blog will run through how to set up Profile+ from scratch

Hope that helps and answers your queston

Best, Chris
