Thanks for your patience. More updates coming soon!

MicrosoftModern Auth is a requirement right now for Focused Inbox. As I noted, we plan to remove that requirement in an upcoming update.
I'm not an expert on what ADFS setup does or doesn't allow Modern Auth to work - but the links in the update I published explain the necessary steps to get that setup.

Having turning on Modern Auth in my tenant (quite awhile ago) for Exchange Online, I have to say that there was zero impact on having it on vs. off. As far as I can tell it "enables" the service to accept Modern Authentication but it doesn't disable any authentication method or break anything. I'm not saying you should just "turn it on" but I know I did with zero impact.
