Hey David,
To be honest it seems like going through the autopilot options opens the door for more issues then setting up AD connect and syncing the objects, insure that GPOs and other computer properties are moved over as well, then start cutting ties to the legacy DC servers.

ericjk4 no on-premises infrastructure, everything will be consolidated to PaaS/SaaS
