Apologies if this is a duplicate, I'm new to submitting bugs! 

Avahi support is not built in at compile time to smbd. This is possible with samba 4.9, it is possible with a simple compile time switch As per the samba mailing list, fully Time Machine support needs to have the arg --enable-spotlight in the samba compile configs.
