Early "Soft" Stream (Classic) shutdown via removal of Microsoft Stream for Office 265 E3 license

If we were to remove the Microsoft Stream for Office 365 E3 license via Entra admin center for most users as a "soft" shutdown of Stream (Classic), would redirects still work?

This would allow Stream (Classic) admins to clean up the service before the absolute end date of 4/15/2023.

To be clear, we don't want to use the Stream admin center checkbox to shut down Stream (Classic) as shown below.
