Running samba4 in production for nearly 3 years now, no big big problem 
(well a couple of quite annoying bugs in the first 6 months, but since 
then it's quite smooth).

Do a daily backup of your samba provision (use 
scripting/bin/samba_backup) and put a script to monitor the state of 
samba4's ldap (ie:

  while true; do
ldbsearch -H ldap://localhost '(samaccountname=administrator)'
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
     do_restart
fi
sleep 60
)

As for the moment we only start 1 ldap task if the samba process which 
is holding this task is killed (because of segfault) you'll find 
yourself without ldap which is not very a good thing ...
