Hmm, I wonder if this has been going on for sometime ?

As I said, I don't get this error and the Samba daemons are started in
this order:
smbd
nmbd
winbind

From the debian bug report by Louis, there is this
in /lib/systemd/system/smbd.service:

After=network.target network-online.target nmbd.service winbind.service

Which from my (limited) knowledge of systemd, means 'smbd' will only be
started after 'nmbd' & 'winbind'. This, in my opinion, is totally wrong.

If your version of the file is the same, try removing 'winbind.service'
and see if this helps.
