Reusing RBR/RBS50 with new Wifi 6 systems?

At some point I’m going to buy a new Orbi Wi-Fi 6/6E system. I currently have an RBR50 system with two satellites. Can any of these components be used with the new system? It would be great if I could...

NG doesn't have a Orbi system with 6E as of yet. Only Orbi AX which is wifi 6 only. 6E will be a whole new HW set if and when that comes out.

It would be great if I could connect the RBS50 satellites to the new WiFi6 system to extend my coverage to the barn and other outbuildings on my property. I understand the outbuildings would not take advantage of Wifi6 which I’m OK with.
