Yes and no.

As long as your AD setup supports NT systems you can continue using the
winbind approach for NTLM authentication, just as you does today.

You can also use LDAP for connecting to MS AD. This is a more reliable
method, but only work for Basic authentication, not NTLM.

You can however combine both, using LDAP for Basic authentication and
groups, and Winbind for NTLM authentication.
