When I asked notable Kiwi security researcher Peter Gutmann on the

Argon2 as mentioned in the link above.

Either way, I'll follow this thread with interest, as I'm keen to have
a password hash in Samba that is both best-of-breed and shared between
modern OpenLDAP and Samba, for our administrators who need password
sync.

There's actually an argon module that has been submitted for inclusion in OpenLDAP (Via ITS#8575). So we may want to start with that.
