I need help on best practice; Should I implement Azure DevOps for our company with a dedicated AAD or use the corporate AAD and create roles from there?

Question

I'm setting up Azure DevOps for our company as a repository. We also will continue to develop with VS and will use test and build automation. We want to tie this in to Azure boards and pipelines and take advantage of the integrated features. Today we are developing with just the VS portion of that plan. Repositories are all over the place with each team and geography having its own way of doing it. After talking to everyone we all agree it would be better to go this route and get organized. Our Azure admin who is also new to this asked a pretty good question, do we want to create an independent Azure Active Directory instance or do we want the DevOps, Boards, Pipelines, etc. roles to be managed from the corporate AAD? I think from a management perspective we could manage a dedicated instance of AAD without worry of upsetting anything in the corporate AAD. Does this create more problems than it solves? I'm hoping the community can help us out here.
