sorry, tl;dr, at least not fully, but still wanted to mention...

...you could try to use the idmap sss backend. Unfortunately it's not 
included in upstream Samba and therefor not available on Ubuntu. Otho 
RHEL Samba ships it, if that helps.

Alternatively you could build Samba packages from source and include the 
necessary patches, I have a WIP branch here:
