I knew you were going to say that, but I am running a Solaris 11 domain member from OS package Samba that reports version 4.13.8 without winbind with several hundred users right now

And same experience on Red Hat 7 and 8 (reported versions a bit different but newer than 4.8)

It complains about no winbind in the logs but yet it works

Thanks,
