Have you checked the status of "BlockMacSync"

The response from our O365 guy was:

This wasn’t available and I didn’t set this when enabling the restriction. It must be a new feature, as it’s not available in the PS Module I have installed and used to set the parameter.

I’ve updated and checked - it’s not set:

TenantRestrictionEnabled : True
AllowedDomainList : {237beb20-b620-4b03-a813-9deb61143da2}
BlockMacSync : False
ExcludedFileExtensions : {}
OptOutOfGrooveBlock : True
OptOutOfGrooveSoftBlock : True
------------
So, no joy there.
