We dont use cross realm. We created a new realm with new name. We used
ipa migrade-ds to migrate users/groups with uids.

Because we couldnt migrate the user passwords from old to new realm, we
reset the users password in the new IPA realm and let the users input a
new password once.

I have the same situation. We have an old MIT Kerberos / OpenLDAP system
which we have  to migrate. We use FreeIPA 4.2 on Fedora 23 and the
current OpenAFS release and simply said: it works. Our first milestone
was to migrate webplattforms and all behind them (apache with kerberos
auth and data in AFS) first and after them with more experience with the
afs / freeipa combination we want to migrate the user homes and client
desktops.
