We have one provider and one consumer running syncrepl. All of our important clients are using sssd, configured to cache everything, with the consumer set as secondary ldap server. I have verified that everything works properly in sssd if the provider goes offline.

Can I flip the provider to hdb, or mdb, and keep consumer as bdb, with syncrepl still running, then later change the consumer?

That would be the only way to do a subtree rename with back-bdb, yes.
Again, there's no reason to use back-bdb.

back-bdb: Introduced in OpenLDAP 2.1 to replace back-ldbm
back-hdb: Introduced in OpenLDAP 2.2 to replace back-bdb
back-mdb: Introduced in OpenLDAP 2.4 to replace both back-bdb and back-hdb

If you're using back-bdb, at least move to back-hdb.
