The main purpose of socket-based activation is to make it easier to parallelize the launching of services at boot time:
Well, also used as a drop in replacement for inetd; for services which are used only occasionally, but that's even *less* applicable to sssd.
Anything which is in constant use should be started as a service rather than a socket, and the example given in the blog post -- sshd -- isn't even valid any more. sshd dropped support for socket activation because of some security issue.
