If there are many more issues it might start to get politically difficult *not* to blame the DCs, and I don't want to point fingers at Samba.

This would seem to be interesting information, but of limited value.
Unless you have a set of specific errors (error codes, return messages,
etc) that your windows programs are able to log or show somehow, how
would you ever be able to map the error code to the 'solution'?
It would be more productive to have error codes, stack traces, and
detailed descriptions of the symptoms of the problem rather than a
blanket statement -"We have never seen problems with hyperV and samba". ..
