I think that would have been because you are either using sssd on the
clients or your clients smb.conf files are borked.
You should have also joined a new DC to the domain using the new version
of Samba.

You cannot use anything but the builtin ldap, it is as strong (if not
stronger) as mysql etc.

Multiple DC's are always better than one.

That is a small domain, there are much bigger ones.

If you are not using sssd (and you cannot if using a version of Samba >=
4.8.0) then you need more 'idmap config' lines.

You would be better setting the share permissions from Windows rather
than using the 'force' lines.
Your version of Samba is extremely old, I would you suggest you upgrade
as soon as possible.
