The service files have changed -- that is the primary problem. I was able to
find the new service files grepping the package listing.

The changes are,

  smbd.service  -- replaced by -- smb.service
  nmbd.service  -- replaced by -- nmb.service

Normal service file change update required:

# systemctl stop smbd
# systemctl stop nmbd
# systemctl disable smbd
# systemctl disable nmbd
# systemctl enable smb
# systemctl enable nmb
# systemctl start smb
# systemctl start nmb

This solved the breakage. The journalctl -xe message about needing winbing in
standalone mode was misinterpreted. samba 4.8 is working.
