Currently my is setup is a Sonos arc, two Sonos subs, a Sonos amp, and two Sonos ceiling speakers being used as surrounds.  I am wanting to connect a record player to my system, but understand that I need a line in device (era 100 or era 300).  Can I add two era 300’s as front corner speakers?  or do they have to be used as rear surround speakers?  If they are used as rear surround speakers am I able to still utilize my exiting ceiling speakers as well?

For a TV set you are limited to the soundbar, two surrounds and one or two Subs. So not officially, third party tools might allow adding front speakers. I don't know if that disables the inputs on them or not.

Officially you could keep your setup as it is and add tne 300s as a Stereo Pair and for non-TV use Group them to play together. Grouping for TV use gives an echo/delay most don't want. 

As a Pair you could use the 300 line-in and send it to the TV set, Group the 300s and TV set or play it on just the 300s.
