Switching from Unified Operations licence to Finance licence

I have some general questions about switching licence types from D365 Finance and Operations unified licence to D365 Finance. My organisations licence is up for renewal and we are a service based organisations that has never used supply chain talent or commerce. Given the nature of our business we are unlikely to use any of this functionality with the possible exception of procurement. Initially we thought last year we may be forced to move to the new licence model by Microsoft but this did not eventuate but now revisiting this there is a small price saving if we switch to the finance only licence and the only downside I can see is we would have to pay more to add back procurement if we decide to use this in the future and we will need to decommission and redeploy an additional sandbox environment which is an addon to the unified ops licence.

My questions are:-

Have I understood this correctly and I am correct with my upside being a price saving (no t paying for modules we don't and may never use) and downsides being we lose procurement and will have to redeploy an addon sandbox environment and if we add back procurement later it will cost us more than it does now?
Is this functionality currently physically controlled in the system so when we switch licence types will we be locked out of supply chain and if so is there any risk we may lose some functionality in Accounts payable that we use no knowing it is part of procurement?
Should we do this because in the future we will be forced to anyway?
Has anybody else done this and did they hit any issues as I have alluded to in point 2?

Thanks in advance

Simon
