Can we onboard the functional account as a managed account? I can understand as per the best practices we can onboard it in functional account configuration section. but what if we add it as a managed account will it have any impact if we add the functional account as a managed account and disable the account rotation?

Functional Accounts are privilege accounts and we do not recommend creating them as another managed account. Having them as a managed account is potentially a security issue which could allow users/administrators to check-out the password.
