Orbi Ethernet Backhaul Between Satellites Only
My setup consists of 1 RBR50 router in a guesthouse which is wear my cable model is located and 3 RBS50s inside of the main house. 2 of the satellites are able to make a good connection with the router, but the 3rd is not.
I'm considering digging up some turf and running conduit underground so I can setup an ethernet backhaul between all devices, but am wondering if it is possible to just use ethernet between the 3 RBS50s in the main house and then rely on the wireless backhaul to get back to the router in the guest house. This would mostly save some money as I wouldn't have to pay to have the horizontal drilling done to get underneather some brick walkways.

Yes, my understanding is that any link can be ethernet or WiFi. So, in the middle example, the link between router and satellite #1 could be WiFi, and the remaining two satellites could daisy chain off the first one.
