I think so too, no need to write own  server name/address in /etc/hosts 
by hand if I have (and with AD DC I always have) a domain name server 
where that name resolved.

By default after install (debian 9) I have only 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, 
but check script counts it as error (-i & -I are different)

Anyway I use some external dns before setup AD DC and switch to DC's own 
server after install, no need to modify /etc/hosts from default 
"localhost", as far as I think.
