Yes agreed. AD administrators are generally pretty protective of write
access. And especially so of some Linux-based open source project writing
into their Windows kingdom. We got over our lack of being able to store
assignment in LDAP, mainly because the blocker was not Keystone, it was
corporate policy.

As for everything else that's been discussed, I think database replication
is easier, and when you're not replicating tokens, there's just not that
much traffic across the WAN. It's been very stable for us, especially since
we started using Fernet tokens.
