First it is your AD domain and you can do what you like, but:

Why are you using a testing Distro ? (Centos stream is upstream from
RHEL and between Fedora and RHEL)

Why, if you are compiling Samba yourself, did you not use the latest
version ?

Why did you decide to use the experimental MIT kerberos instead of the
built in Heimdal ?

Finally 'root' is not and never has been an AD user.
