I remember way back when I was solo-sysadmin for a company and the new IT-manager wanted to move everything to O365 and “the cloud”. He claimed it was because of increased stability. My issue with this was that O365 had 13 or something days of downtime that year, while our locally hosted stuff had something like 4-6 hours due to a power failure, at night.
Managed to keep it local until I left. They outsourced the IT-department after that.
I’m tired of helping companies move back and forward between Google Workspace and O365 while pretending I still work in IT.

Can confirm that there are still impacts to Intune, so ‘fully resolved’ is a stretch

I appreciate your gumption, but I don’t envy your administration of an Exchange server.
I was stoked when we moved to Exchange online, because I wouldn’t have to fight with blocklists or cert renewals or mail queues ever again.
I’m guessing we were small enough for it to never be an issue. Only around 100 people. Started on Exchange 2003 so things were pretty routine.
