That is fine, windows 2008R2 should be easier.

I doubt it is a single object that is causing the issue, the same would
happen on each object.

As I say, I would start with the current version for maximum chances,
or just make the migration a one-off an don't run Samba and Windows
side-by-side.

I've found this PPA with Samba 4.8.3:
https://launchpad.net/~linux-schools/+archive/ubuntu/samba-latest

Do someone have any experience with this PPA?
I'm a little afraid on testing it but, since I don't have any other 
chance, that should be the way to go...

That is the ppa for the Karoshi distro, never used it myself, but
Karoshi seems to be popular in schools.
You shouldn't have any problems testing it and what have you got to
lose ? You don't want to build Samba yourself.
