No side effects in Onpremise directory . You will just have to turn off dir sync by using powershell and do some cleanup in AD. You will probably need to do some cleanup in the AAD tenant for cloud objects

A follow-up: Our company used to have exchange but it was removed. With all msExch.. attributes in active directory (this may be the case without an exchange server as I believe it extends AD with upgrades to 2012R2 or earlier) does all these attributes have to be matched before sync????
For example, the msExchMailboxGuid is "not set" on my local directory, so if this syncs would that not break exchange online, since that "not set" attribute would over write the cloud??
Thank you
