Maybe a little bit OT question here:
SPN vs UPN only exists in Microsoft KDC implementation right?
i.e. if I deploy IPA domain, there is still no difference between these 2 (as IPA is
using MIT KDC) right?
In general yes, but please note that the handling of the service
principals is completely different in AD and IPA. In AD they are just
attributes of a host object while in IPA they are object on their own.
As a consequence in AD all services will use the same key based on the
host password while with IPA each service on a host will have an
individual key.

So only those can be used with kinit or for login.

on DNS and hence host/gentoo-lab.transmode.se(a)TRANSMODE.SE is all you need. For
compatibility AD still supports a different kind of names called NetBIOS names. Typically
the NetBIOS name is just the first part of the DNS name in upper-case. But there is not
general rule for this and due to some restrictions on either side (NetBIOS names can only
be 15 bytes long, but may contain '.') it is even not always possible to find the
matching name in the other scheme. Since the Windows users are used to the NetBIOS names
AD supports them in the service principals as well.
