It seems that the only network protocols used by SSSD are LDAP, KRB5,

The global catalog part uses RPC for example.
* Does Microsoft require clients to use RPC calls to access certain
DC functionality?
Yes.
* If not, why does Samba use RPC calls rather than LDAP/KRB5?
AFAIK SSSD does use it, not to the same extent as winbind but it does.
Some of the functionality like global catalog is available only via RPC.
