No, you didn't, you might have thought you did, but you didn't, all the
rfc2307 attributes are part of the standard schema. You actually will
have provisioned with '--use-rfc2307', What this actually added to
Samba AD was the ypServ30.ldif (which is the basic OUs etc required by
IDMU) and ?idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes? to the first DCs smb.conf
(note: it isn't added when you join other DCs, you have to manually add
it).
Now with this setup, if you add uidNumber & gidNumber attributes, then they
will be used on the DC instead of the normal '3000000' range of numbers,
but if you don't add any uidNumber & gidNumber attributes, nothing will
happen, it will be as if you never set --use-rfc2307. Also, if you remove
?idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes? from a DC, it will revert to using the
'3000000' numbers even if there are rfc2307 attributes in AD.

That is because Linux has retained the Unix IDs it had, but can no
longer map them to anything, they are not in idmap.ldb

It isn't even required for SYSVOL

You could actually, but then you must never set 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307
= yes' on any DC. It is mutually exclusive, you either don't give
Domain Admins a gidnumber and use 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes' on DCs
or you don't use 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes' on DCs and give
Domain
Admins' a gidNumber.
