Cloud only identity providers - Getting rid of all my on premise access control hardware.

I work for a partner selling networking hardware primarily Cisco Meraki, networking being my strength. Increasingly customers are expressing their desires to move to a complete cloud solution with regards to managing user access control.

On one end of the scale, we have 802.1x providing Network Access Control to switching and wireless and at the other end, we have a whole bunch of ever-increasing SAAS applications often using Azure AD or Okta for access control.

What I would like to discuss is how are organizations merging these two different access control approaches together. Are the cloud identity providers seen as complementary to on-premise access control solutions or have some customers been able to go fully cloud

If anyone has successfully achieved this then what have been the tradeoffs of moving to the cloud? any issues to be aware of?
