On the one hand that makes sense, since groups don't have home directories, but on the other hand, AD users are not shown (i.e. they only exist in IPA as a group), and anyway I would like to be able to set the home directory format for all users at once (including AD users) instead of individually. Is that possible?

Since the trusted AD domain is a 'subdomain' in SSSD lingo, you need to
change the 'subdomain_homedir' parameter in sssd.conf
