Beautiful plant - and most transplanting like that is experimentation - give and take and it may take several tries before it works.

I know that to be a hardy plant so it should take - maybe plant one cutting in potting soil, another in water and see how they do. Or do several. I’ve done this with many plants and usually one or more “takes.”

Ditto for grafting. I’ve seen grafted plumerias that were beautiful, different colored blooms on every branch. I asked one gardener how he did it and he told me he grafts many many branches and usually only one or two take.

That’s one of the beauties of gardening, it’s very fluid and flexible - and we are also beholden to the weather, which changes year to year (my figs this year are very very small, I think from us having an extra cool spring, they didn’t get the heat they need to ripen and plump up properly)
