For the confusion regarding outputting 4k,
Does it have 4K passthrough? - No
Will you be able to play 4K HDR content? - Yes
Short answer for it is ARC

The way I have it hooked up to my Samsung 60 KS8000 is-
- All hdmi devices(Roku 4 HDR, PS4 Pro, Xfinity X1) are connected directly to my TV(via the samsung one connect box)
- The soundbar is connected to the TV via the HDMI ARC port.
- All hdmi devices(Roku 4 HDR, PS4 Pro, Xfinity X1) are connected directly to my TV(via the samsung one connect box)
- The soundbar is connected to the TV via the HDMI ARC port.
The devices output 4k content directly to the TV. With CEC enabled, the tv returns the sound to the soundbar via ARC(no delay in gaming at all). I like this setup better than passthrough as there wouldn't be as many ports available on the soundbar. I can control the soundbar volume from any of the device remotes. Vizio remote is still needed for individual speaker settings. Since my tv has only a single oneConnect cable, I don't have to worry about multiple hdmi cables sticking out of the tv.
As for the soundbar, all in all, it does a great job. Great thing about it is the smaller size in thickness of the soundbar as well as the rear speakers, when compared to that of the older 38/40 series. Flat subwoofer is not as filling as the cube one would have been(tested friend's older model). Keeping it flat down would cause the whole floor/couch to shake even on lower subwoofer settings. Keeping it standing gives better overall control of bass levels as well as more room filling bass.
My Best Buy number: 4130338378
Mobile Submission: False
I would recommend this to a friend!

I need to use in-ceiling speakers instead of the included rear channel satellite speakers. Will they work if I simply terminate the existing speaker wire wire with an RCA plug, and connect those to the back of the subwoofer?
I don't see why it wouldn't work. The Speakers have a regular RCA plug. Any satellite speaker should work fine via RCA as long as the wattage is not too high(read big speakers).
