A Modern Dilemma: When to Use Rules vs. Machine Learning
My summary:
The post begins with some discussion of the principles of business logic.
About halfway down the page is a section entitled Guidance for When to Use a Rules Engine vs. Machine Learning, which gives some of the general points to consider for this question.

Pattern 2: Leverage rule outputs as a feature input into machine learning models
Pattern 3: Leverage both rule and machine learning outputs as inputs
