With AADC implemented in our AD and Office 365, we want to deploy a hybrid Exchange next, is ADFS a must? Thanks!

  • AD FS is not a mandatory requirement. It is only useful if you are attempting to: - Pass local user credentials through for a single-signon experience - Restrict access to Office 365 services via IP, group membership, or other attributes via custom AD FS claims rules. Exchange Hybrid is 100% independent of that. – Niko.Cheng Nov 05 '18 at 09:54

No ADFS is an option, particularly if you plan on using other, non Microsoft server apps along with Azure AD as the authentication directory. It is not required.
