Blade for rollerhockey

I might be playing casual rollerhockey drop-in soon.
Is it necessary to be using the plastic blades? It will be outdoors and the surface will be cement though.

I have a shaft with a "fiberglass hosel" blade on it that I've been using for
ice hockey. But I don't know when's the next time I will be playing on ice again. I just started playing in January, so I'm trying out all types of hockey.

I was wondering should I just continue using the same blade, or maybe get a replacement blade and swap it? Reason why I don't consider buying a new cheap stick is that I like the weight of the shaft I'm using.

I've seen some other blades like

pretty much plastic

looks better (and maybe can be used for ice?)

(not sure if this is even good for cement)

The thing is, I don't want my blade to just crack away while it's on cement, but at the same time, I don't really want a full plastic blade knowing I won't be able to use it if i ever decide to maybe join one drop-in (ice) hockey session.

Any recommendations?
