Preferably, I need to set up as a domain member as I wish to put an NTVFS module before the CIFS proxy to marshall file access as a proxy server (much like some of the vfs modules do at the endpoint).

I don't think this going to work, you are starting winbind, nmbd, and 
smbd deamons and have added lines to smb.conf that belong in an AD DC 
smb.conf. Also ntvfs is, or rather was designed to be used only with the 
samba deamon, was because it is now depreciated and could be removed at 
any time.
