Sorry but you will never see your DC (NOTE: it is not a PDC) in network
browsing.

No your not, it hasn't been released yet

Next time, can you use 'samba-tool testparm' ;-)

Can I suggest you remove all these lines:

domain master = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
min receivefile size = 16384
name resolve order = bcast lmhosts host wins
server signing = No
dns proxy = No
aio read size = 16384
aio write size = 16384
allocation roundup size = 4096
strict allocate = Yes

You might need them on a PDC, but as you don't have a PDC, you don't
need them.

You should also remove these two lines from [Users]:

csc policy = disable
directory mode: parameter = 0700

They do not work on a DC, see here:
