CIS hardened Windows Server 2019 Level 2

Question

I going to setup an additional DC (to replicate to our current DCs) and I wonder if it is good idea to install the above server, since our other DC servers are different types; ( Microsoft windows server 2019 data center and standard versions which are Microsoft product) but the above server is MS market place !!!

I am not sure if it is best practice to choose the above server due to integration with other DCs (i.e., restrictions built for communications, we may encounter issues with keeping all DCs (on-prem and in Azure) in sync with each other)

Any thoughts or idea would be appreciated.
