AD Connect - staging mode server and security

Hi,
Currently, we're using AD Connect on 2012 R2 to sync identities to Azure AD. We use ADFS for authentication. We want to upgrade AD Connect and add a staging mode server.

Is it supported/recommended to run Windows 2019 AD connect on a staging mode server whilst the active AD connect is on 2012 R2?

Our plan is to make the staging mode server live and then setup a new 2019 server and install AD Connect on the third server so that we have an active/passive configuration.

Lastly, what are the security controls and best practices around password writeback? My management team wants to ensure we're not opening ourselves to vulnerabilities.

Thanks in advance
