Worth noting that JD still uses a mic in addition to plugging into the Fishman....

Quote from a recent interview with Jerry Douglas.. 'We created 16 digital Aura images for my signature pedal by recording the resonator to two tracks—one from various microphones, and one from the pickup. Fishman has a program that turns the pickup signal into a mirror image of the microphone’s sound wave. Onstage, you can blend the live pickup sound with the Aura image. I tend to use all Aura, and I think of the images like EQ to control my slice of the sonic pie. For example, the beefy RCA 77 ribbon mic image works well to fill out the sound of a small combo, whereas the brighter Neumann U67 image cuts through the sound of a larger ensemble. The system captures the authentic sound of a miked-up Dobro, so I’m free to move around onstage. I’ve been trying forever to contend with an electric guitar’s volume, and now I finally can.' Paul Beard installs the new Fishman Aura pickup system in Jimmy Heffernan's MA6. Jim's vocals are mic'd. When the Aura is used all recordings come from the amp's DI output.

Jerry does always use a mic for solos. Whenever I have seen him play, which is not since he's had the Aura box, he uses the pickup for rhythm & the mic for solos.
I am not able to comment further on the Aura box without some research and a try out, which I will look into.
Shine On Michael
