Lumen is great for levels that heavily rely on dynamic lightings but sometimes it is not good enough - especially in indoor, dim scenarios.  
However currently, lumen will override all static lightmaps once enabled.  
Are they planning to integrate the two systems? or is it simply impossible to integrate the two?

They intend to support Lumen reflections with lightmaps, but only reflections. Sadly no ETA as to when that will happen, as it would be really nice to have them now.

Epic [shot down the idea of mixing lightmaps with lumen GI](https://youtu.be/QdV_e-U7_pQ?t=7649) during their Lumen livestream, that most likely isn’t happening.
