Good possible and always good to do a clean install so now and then
but, upgrading should not be a problem, my servers are now buster and bullseye,
I upgraded them since wheezy.

That is fine, Greory, let look at this..
AD1.some.domain.tld, now, this is the "real" computer name. But your
Ad-dc also runs DNS, NTP maybe dhcp.
So CNAME NTP1 => AD1
DNS1 => AD1
Etc etc.
Setup everything you with hostnames so you use these aliases.
CNAMES is key plus A and PTR records for these servers.

Have a read here. And yes, i really really advice everyone to read this one.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/naming-conventions-for-computer-domain-site-ou
Best tip i can give is use Aliasses where you can, everything i publish to the pc's are ALIASSES (CNAMES)
By doing that, i can very simple move my data from server to server ( while everyone is working )..
And when im done moving stuff, i just change the alias and point to the new server when people arent working.
My hostnames are bases on few simply things.. For example.
AD-DC's Location-hostnameNR NY-AD1.ADDOM.DOMAIN.TLD
Members Location-MEM-FUNCTION-NR NY-MEM-PROXY1.ADDOM.DOMAIN.TLD also alias for GW1. (gateway1)
A bit like that.
Only thing you have to look out for is make user the correct UPN/SPN's are set where needed.
Most stuff WILL correctly work with only the default keytab file after a domain join.
I hope it helped you a bit.
Greetz,
Louis
