I got perfect answers from both Fraser and you. Thanks a lot.

As I initially thought, a FreeIPA ( or Dogtag with less features....(?)) is
still the best idea.

But our (MS) AD/PKI admins had some doubts, and were convinced you have to
deploy subCA CA certificates to clients.

To conclude:
- it is much simpler for our team to setup FreeIPA CA services as a subCA
also because we don't need to create and secure and offline CA in that case.
- we don't need to distribute certs to windows clients
- the rootCA (AD PKI) can always revoke our subCA when there is a
problem/breach. Correct?
