Thank you for the feedback!
Meanwhile I picked an snapshot of the oldest ad server (debian wheezy). I succesfully updated that vm to bullseye with samba from backports. This machine ist running as an xenserver vm with ext3 fs.
No access problems here. Same if i update to bookworm with samba from bookworm-backports.
This testing environment uses the same samba configuration and is part of the same ad domain as the one I tested earlier.
Narrows the issue down to beeing caused by systemd nspawn or zfs.
