I'm not sure of the mechanics (eg if winbind_ads should be used - is it
still the only way to get correct primary groups on user lists?), but I
do so very much agree with the 'autodetect as much as possible' part.  

I would love for security=ads to just be a synonym for security=domain,
and then for us to just work the rest out.  That was the purpose of my
attempt at 'server role', which we really only push for the AD DC.
