I don't recall the numbers on how many SSDs each card pair can support but for sure they haven't recommended SSDs and Spinny drives on the same adapter pair for years.

You also have slight overkill with two adapter pairs there you could
have put both drawers on one adapter pair but now you're set for
expansion.

On our system unit we have one pair of cards supporting two expansion
units, like you mention.

Our expansion units, like our old expansion units will be all SSD's. The
only difference will be the new SSD's will be much larger and newer. Due
to maintenance costs we are going to self maintain those old SSD's and
unload/reload to the new SSD's. The old SSD's will be used as a secondary
ASP (not an iASP).
