Why do you want TM to work over samba? Not sure it is supported completely by Apple although they did have developer documentation on it at one time:

I did see this on reddit, but have not tried it personally:

Have you tried using the modifications to your smb.conf ( or equivalent in your OS) recommended in this wiki? TM via AFP over TCP works well on a Linux server (ext4) so don’t know why your FFS wouldn’t work.
