What will be affected when ADSync Server is down ?

-
Hi,
We are using Office 365 with ADSync and ADFS Servers on premise.
We would like to know if the ADSync Server is down, what service will be affected ?
1) Can users use mail via Outlook client on site ? If Outlook authentication is via ADFS Server, I cannot see any problem. Is it correct ?
2) If end users change their password (Like: Password has been expired due to Domain Password Policy) when the ADSync Server is down, can they still use Outlook Client to access Email on site ? Can they access mail via OWA ? My understanding is that both Outlook Client or OWA authentication are via ADFS Server and thus they should not have problem in accessing Email both method. Is it correct ?
3) If it doesn't affect Outlook Mail access, what is affected when the ADSync Server is down ?
Thanks

It may depend on the features and customizations you have enabled. May be better to ask here.
