Nothing has been done yet, but we are thinking of doing it.
Maybe you can do a simple script that dump the acl from the tdb (using 
samba-tool ntacl get --as-sddl), modify the smb.conf to comment the 
posix:eadb option and then put them back (but in the xattr) with samba-tool.

Extra points if you manage to do it inside samba-tool.
