When RHEL8 and CentOS8 were released, I was looking forward to setting up SAMBA as a AD DC server for CentOS8. But when I lifed the hood on the samba.spec file I found the option to build the samba-dc binary rpm has been disabled for rhel family builds.
Apparently Red Hat does not want to support a unified SAMBA AD DC environment. I believe we have all of the componentns needed to set up a fully up-to-date samba-dc binary. But it's been decades since I last rolled up my sleeves with my hardbound copy of "Maximum RPM" and built custom binary rpms.
Has anyone already done this as a COPR or similar project? Failing that, I'm willing to work with anyone with more up-to-date rpmbuild tools to create and document the process.

You might want to take a look at https://github.com/nkadel/samba4repo
In addition, you might want to join the samba list over at samba.org.
There are a few other doing rpms for centos also. I do not use them but maybe it will help.

You need Heimdal which neither CentOS or RHEL ship but as others have said, (and other threads in lists have been going on) Nico Kadell has a set of RPMS with everything you need https://github.com/nkadel/samba4repo
