With hardware install of Ubuntu on a Mac, you'll hit the wall called 'missing drivers' really hard. If you really, really need a hardware install of Linux, from my experience, do it on a spare, not-so-new machine. CyberOps- I am thinking server OS and server-grade hardware rather than consumer-grade hardware and consumer-oriented OS.
As you're probably aware, the current Activdriver release on macOS Sierra is problematic - the second stroke (write, lift pen, write again) of any text or diagram is usually missing unless an extended delay is left between taking the pen off the board and putting it down again. Do you know when a revised/beta quality driver will become available? (Yes, upgrading to macOS Sierra before verifying driver support isn't the wisest decision my users could make, but that's one of the painful lessons they'll have to learn to make BYOD stable).
