The era 100s are not compatible with the Playbar - see this Sonos Support link:

The Era 100s cannot be used as surrounds with the Playbar.

Could you get a Sonos upgrade discount for swapping your Playbar for an Arc?

I’d do that if at all possible.

The Playbar could go to another room, even one without a TV, that is what I did with an excess older Beam here and it is a great low-visibility (to the spouse) speaker option.
