Using B2B or just simple SharePoint sharing and azureAD, when you invite an e-mail that is from another tenant, you can access resources using you're already logged in account, you don't have to have an account setup on the other tenant for them to access.

The person you invite, just needs to access your site URL and they can access it, easy does it.
