I assume that by 'home directories' above you are refering to
network-mounted home directories. Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct (they reside on a NFS share, automounted at logon).
And that is the origin of the pain...
For local home directories a combination of oddjob and
pam_mkhomedir_oddjob already takes care for autocreating the directories
at logon time.
In Fedora this is set with
authselect enable-feature with-mkhomedir
when sssd profile is chosen.
