If you use s3fs, the only thing you may need to do (first test if it is
still necessary it was with the git version a week ago) is to give group
Domain Admins, full access to the sysvol share (and recursively all
subfolders) from a Windows domain member computer (loged in of course as
a member of the Domain Admins group).
The major problem with ntvfs is that it isn't actively developed anymore
and hasn't received those protocol dialect updates (smb2-3) which were
introduced in Vista and 7, and thus it may have compatibility problems
later (no known problem exist so far)
