I know that RBS50 can be ethernet connected to a Orbi AX system, however I don't know if a RBS750 can be ethernet connected to a Orbi AC system. Might work, however it may not integrate in to the Orbi AC system. You can try and see if it works. If, not send the RBS back.
Your better option would be to find a RBS40v and ethernet connect it up.

Will it act exactly in the same way as a RBS50 would? By this, I mean that when I roam from first stair to basement my smartphone/tablet will automatically attach to the RBS750. And same in other way, it will leave RBS750 to a RBS50 when I leave my basement. I don't care for WiFi 6 right now.
As I use daisy chain for my Orbi system, I understand that a RBS50 won't be able to connect to the RBS750 for WiFi backhaul, but that's not a problem.
