Is it possible to simply project a geographic CRS like ITRF2020 to a UTM?

Hello,

If I understand it correctly, it's better to use ITRF2020 rather than e.g. WGS84 or ETRS89 for field data acquisition purposes, due to better accuracy. That's what one of my clients has suggested recently anyway, to which I couldn't really say no. However, at the same time, the acquired data need to be projected to a local UTM and displayed with meters instead of degrees. 

I have multiple legacy shapefiles and other data which have the ETRS89 UTMXX projection. I can't seem to find an easy way to reproject these layers to ITRF2020 UTMXX. ITRF2020 is available in ArcGIS Pro under geographic coordinate systems only, not projected. Should I use some custom transformation?
