We're using SSSD. LDAP does not use authentication for search. In the mean time we already upgraded to 18.04 and I'm not sure if the bug persists (but will try it again and post the results here - the workaround is still in place). The issue seems to be with the home directory being mounted from the remote host and GDM and other (local) processes trying to read from that directory with root access. That cannot work by default, as NFS mounts with the local root are mapped to nfs_nobody. In order to circumvent this I tried setting the no_root_squash option in the exports file, which should in theory enable local root processes to access /home normally. Well - that ended with another bug filed with nfs-utils, as no_root_squash does not work (it didn't work with 17.10 - that was a known issue with that particular nfs server version, but it seems to be still there with 18.04). I still have one idea that I will try this weekend, but this has become a nice big rabbit hole for me.
