Sorry for troubles. We can add weak dependency info sssd-common on
sssd-nfs-idmap and it might be installed by default.
IIRC dnf does not inform about suggested packages; but recommends minght
work. Feel free ot file a BZ.

The reason why it is in separate package is "container world".
You need to have install packge sssd-nfs-idmap on host
but sssd can be running in container.
