It is general suggest that keeping the back surrounds is of more benefit than adding addsitional ceiling or height speakers. The same guy who couldn't admit he was wrong about Atmos decoding without heights and slinked off into the darkness when it was obvious he lost. I do my own dialog lift effect now using a mixer to send some L/C/R to the front heights to lift the sound stage up to screen height. I could do "Scatmos" for side surround #2 and have full discrete decoding for everything else. Now I'm looking at the Monoprice HTP-1 pretty closely. Before I knew it, I had 17.1 set up including "Scatmos" extraction to go beyond 11.1 and some extra side arrays for multiple rows of seats. I then did some experiments with my old "high on the side wall" surrounds with the ear level speakers disabled in multichannel stereo mode (thunderstorms, planes and the like) to hear how convincing Atmos/Auro/X might be and it was impressive so I started upgrading and adding more speakers. I added a pair of matching front height bookshelf speakers to try it out (It can only output up to 7.1 at once, so rear surround(s) were disabled, but the effect was excellent for moving dialog up to screen height. I used it for 6.1 for many years until I found out it had dialog lift hidden in its DSP modes.
