Reflecting a purely personal bias, I would swap the Ones for One SLs and buy an Echo Dot. Place the Dot wherever is best and get fully featured Alexa.
You should be able to use Alexa on surround speakers though.

If I’m understanding your post correctly, perhaps just tap the mic-light and switch the mic off on the one Surround speaker that you don’t wish to use.
Same issue that I am having. I am temp using my Ones as surrounds until I can get SL or ikea bookshelves. I want to use Alexa. I unpaired the Ones. Added them as surrounds to my new playbase. And the mice are off and I am unable to turn them on. Would really like to use Alexa in my basement. Please help.

Goto “Settings/Services/Voice” in the Sonos App and choose to add Amazon Alexa to your Playbase by selecting its room name and following the onscreen instructions.
