Then upgrade samba on the file servers, point winbind to the new samba server and the migration at the server level would be done.   Users systems not all mobile and not members of the existing domains - so the scripts they use to connect to the shares would just need to make use of the new domain name in the share connection strings.

idmap config *:backend = tdb
idmap config *:range =2001-2100

lose:
 idmap_ldb : use rfc2307 = yes
(It's the wrong syntax anyway)

May get you close. Or use sssd if not.
