Great stuff! I've been getting very flustered with IAM vs IAM IC vs AWS managed AD, etc. Here's what I've gathered:
Pure standalone IAM is considered legacy. IAM IC (Identity Center) is the way to go. Then connecting it to an AWS managed AD will let you do LDAP and SSO with all your deployed tools. This AD solution also means you can deploy a helper EC2 AD instance for people who like AD. I don't like the idea of things like a pure AD connector though, because if you're using a deployed EC2 AD as the pure source, and that gets corrupted, your user info is hosed.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. That's mostly reproducible, except for a few *crucial* gotchas that I wish were more stressed out.
I wish that you insisted more on the prep work provisioning part.

1. the catchall group MUST be at the root level of AD, or the Add Users & Groups feature will NOT find it. I've tried different path separator and forms, but only root-level will work.

2. The groups that provisioned users belong to can't be of "Local" scope. They have to be at least "Global".

3. In my case, it's not until I assigned the AWS Account permission sets that the Groups appeared in the AWS sync panel. Before that, only users appeared.

4. There is still a gotcha that resolved by itself overnight, is that initially, my synced users appear with Status = Disabled. Overnight they switched to "Enabled".
