Did you add the POSIX attributes to AD after creating the trust maybe?

This has no effect, in IPA-AD trust scenario, the id mapping properties
are managed on the server.

I think idviews are better for overriding POSIX attributes for a
specific set of hosts, but in your environment, it sounds like you want
to use the POSIX attributes across the board.

Yes

Homedir is a bit special, for backwards compatibility the
subdomains_homedir takes precedence. The others should be read from AD.

I don't have the environment set at the moment, though, so I'm operating
purely from memory.
