Ethernet backhaul on only 1 satellite

Hi all - I have an Orbi 3 pack (1 router and 2 satellites). Am I able to use Ethernet backhaul on just 1 satellite and leave the other wireless? Is anyone doing this?

I do exactly this.  I have RBR50 and three RBS50s.  Two of the three satellites are ethernet backhaul and one is wireless.  The backhaul is in a hub and spoke configuration from the router, not daisy chained.  Works flawelessly.
