>Do you have experience of setting up the old classic NT4-style domains (as in PDC's) ?
Yes. We use Samba from version 3.0.2. 

>Why do you want to change the users primary group ?
Every user has primary group according to his department (in case above, the user jonh4 belongs to department IT4).
On our file servers, we use the primary group to set permissions for certain shares. We also prefer that the primary group is set when a file is created, i.e.
-rw-r--r--  1 ADS2\john4 ADS2\it4     5 2024-08-26 14:02 aaa.txt

In production, we use samba 4.4.3. There the command wbinfo gives correct information. 
root at dc-ads:/usr/local# wbinfo -i  jergus_lapin
ADS\jergus_lapin:*:11214:998008:Jergus Lapin:/home/ADS/jergus_lapin:/bin/false
On new DC3 (samba 4.17.12), wbinfo gives this:
root at dc3-ads:/etc/pam.d# wbinfo -i jergus_lapin
ADS\jergus_lapin:*:11214:513::/home/ADS/jergus_lapin:/bin/false

Since I didn't want to test in the production environment, I installed a clean setup with a new domain (ADS2 mentioned in the previous email) and I'm testing it there. I assume that once we resolve it on the clean installation, we'll configure it the same way in the production environment.

No.
