Google Fi with/instead of Google Voice

I have a Google Voice number which I use for two purposes:
  1. I forward my Verizon voicemail to it to enable Hangouts voice recognition
  2. I register it as my phone number for United and other international airlines so I don't have any worries about two-factor authentication when I'm abroad.
Now that I have a Pixel phone that supports an eSIM for Fi, I can't think of a good reason not to use Fi on my upcoming trip to France. But I plan to pause or cancel my Fi account when I get home. I understand I can't receive voice mail on a paused account.

Should I use another Google account for my Fi number, or is it easy to cancel Fi altogether and revert to Voice?
