Hybrid mesh backup via 4G : What combination of deco models will this work with ?

I bought an X10-4G in order to implement "hybrid mesh backup" as described here:
https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/4251/
Unfortunately it does not work as planned. If I add the X10 to me Deco netweork as a satellite Deco (which is what I need, because the wired connection is about as far away as can be from the location the X10 needs to be in to get a good 4G signal), then go to "Advanced", there is no "Internet backup" option.
I suspect this is becasue my main Dco is an M4R. I suspect that this doesn't support internet backup.
The FAQ helpfully point out that "Features may vary from different Deco models." - I'm thinking that the relevant feature is missing from my M4R.
So I think that what I need to do is to replace the M4R with another Deco which does support internet backup. But, before I spend more money on this project, I want to be sure that it will work.
So, my question is, which Deco models will support "hybrid mesh backup" using my X10-4G?
I can't find an answer to this anywhere on the TP-Link site. The nearest is a post that says that X50/X55 support hybrid backup. Can amyone confirm that these will work with my X10 ? If so I will invest in one.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Update:
Thank you very much for your time and patience.
It has been confirmed by the engineer that:
For Internet Backup>Hybrid Mesh Backup, the satellite Deco 5G unit also needs to support the "Internet Backup" feature, and currently, Deco X50-5G_V1/V1.2 with firmware 1.2.x is the only Deco 5G router that has added the "Internet Backup" function.
In other words, currently, "Deco X50_V1_1.6.x+ Deco X50-5G_V1_1.2.1" is the only combination for "Hybrid Mesh Backup".
Thanks a lot and best regards.
