At the end of the day, all we really need is password and preferably
account disabling synchronized. The rest is not absolutely necessary. I saw
that part of the documentation, but did not fully understand it (in a hurry!).
Now that I see it in a different light, it becomes much clearer. I will look
into this.
Thanks,

Ouch! The AD admins have already expressed an unwillingness to move some
users into a separate container. And I don't want to have several thousand
unnecessary entries in my IPA system. It looks like password synchronization
is not going to be an option.
With 389 it is possible to disable sync of AD user creation to DS.
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Administration_Guide/Using_Windows_Sync-Synchronizing_Users.html
12.4.4.2. Configuring User Sync in the Command Line
To disable user sync, set nsds7NewWinUserSyncEnabled: off
Then, you will add the ntUser objectclass to each IPA user you want to sync,
and at the same time add the attribute ntUserDomainID: username (corresponds to
the AD user samAccountName attribute). This will "link" the IPA user entry to
the corresponding AD user entry.
You mention password sync and user sync - I'm not sure if you mean them
separately, or if you are implying that they have to be used together - they do
not. You should be able to install PassSync on your domain controllers
_without configuring a winsync agreement in IPA_. PassSync should then just
ignore password changes for users that it cannot find in IPA.

Is there a way to limit what user accounts are synchronized from Active
Directory? There are around 15,000 entries in our production AD system, but
probably only about 300 of those need to have an account in the IPA system.
Can we set an attribute in the user information in AD that would flag that this
is a candidate for replication, and lack of that attribute would cause an
account to be skipped?
No. The only thing you can do is create a special container (cn=IPA users or
ou=IPA users or something like that), move the users you want to sync into that
container, and sync only that container.
