SFB UDP Ports
Hi Will,
The ports you mentioned are used for the realtime communication part (e.g. Audio, Video, Sharing) of SfB and Teams. So you should definitly use/allow them. If you don't open them, there is a fallback used via Port 443/TCP. This is the mode your environment currently running in.
These ports fall in the category of optimize. You can find the recommendations for this kind of traffic here:

If you are planning a change with the network Team I would recommend the Network Testing Companion. This allows you to simulate calls and test network connectivity for these ports.
You can find a blog article from Erwin Bierens how to install this here: https://erwinbierens.com/skype-for-business-and-microsoft-teams-network-testing/
