Azure AD B2C and AD Connect

I need to synchronize users from my on-prem AD to an AD B2C tenant. Now, the docs clearly state this is not possible, but one of the workarounds offered in other questions (like this one: Can I Use ADConnect to migrate users to Azure B2C) is to create a regular Azure AD, sync the users to it, and then configure this Azure AD as an identity provider for the B2C.

This obviously works, however - it will display a link in the sign-in page to log-in using the Azure AD tenant (similar to what happens with the Facebook identity provider). What I'm looking for is a seamless experience, where the users sign in using the regular B2C pages, as if they're local users, and the users' profiles are retrieved from the Azure AD tenant.

How can that be achieved? How can I use the B2C sign in pages and get the users from the Azure AD tenant?

Thanks!

Why do you need Azure B2C, if all users are in the AD, then just use AD as it was intended instead of trying to shoehorn them into something that it wasn't designed for. As you say, the added button to login as an AD user is there for this very purpose, I use that and it works well, if you are an internal user B2B go this way with your normal password, all other public users B2C via the username password front and centre on the screen.

If you migrate users to B2C so they have both, that would be annoying as you would have no single sign on.
