I have my Airport Time Capsule (ATC) wired to Orbi in AP mode. I think you can easily the same setup in AE.

If you want the AE connected wirelessly, I would recommend that if you get the Orbi AX system in, configure the RBR to use the same SSID name and password as you are currently using on your current wifi router. Then once you get the Orbi AX system online, migration with your wifi devices should be seemless and they should all connect to the Orbi AX system. You may need to reboot your wifi devices.
