If I remove an AD connection, will all those users automatically be Okta sourced users. Or do I have to loop through all the users first to make them Okta sourced, then remove the AD connection?

I cannot locate any documentation that says specifically but the following docs make it sound to me like they would switch to Okta sourced but I could be wrong. If you don't get additional feedback on this community post I suggest you reach out to your Okta CSM and have them get in touch with techs from Okta to help you make the right changes to avoid issues.
The following notes are mentioned in the first post link talk about things you should do before deactivating an Directory Integration. You also need to consider options to deal with passwords mentioned in the second post link below.

Hi @DavidB.84594 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
It depends on what kind of AD integration you are referring to with "multiple Active Directories".
If you are referring to a single domain integrated with Okta which uses multiple AD Agents for the connection and you are planning on removing one of connected servers/agents, then redundancy should kick in and the integration remains as is. Okta would just continue using the remaining agent(s).
If you are referring to multiple domain integrations with a single agent each...
Example:
AD-Domain1 (AcmeCompany.com) with Okta-AD-Agent1
AD-Domain2 (CookieCompany.com) with Okta-AD-Agent2
The integrations are separate entities, and if for example you deactivate the AD integration for domain AcmeCompany.com , you will get a prompt like this:
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
