Hi,

Something else that might be interesting: Azure AD Connect cloud 
provisioning.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/cloud-provisioning/what-is-cloud-provisioning

It's something new, that I guess could be relevant for someone checking 
out Azure Sync options.

Here you'd need to set up an own IdP (for example using shibboleth) and connect this with the office365 users. I'm not sure how seemless this works but I think that there should be an idp being able to authenticate the users via kerberos if they're already logged in on a workstation.
