Maybe implementing this would be actually contra productive as it would mean there would be 2 ways to store the same thing in ldap - a mess.

I don't know ... it serves a different purpose.
One scenario: There a lot of problems and the DNS server (appliance) is down.... because it's running on Windows ;-) but you've some really important - clusters or servers, a lot of settings not using IP addresses but DNS names (as it should be...)
If you then have host entries cached by sssd, you still *can* resolve the hosts... without having to distribute /etc/hosts files with a configuration mgmt system.
