You got me wrong. It is sufficient. My answer was referring to "Imo it would
not be a good idea to enable it by default. Since delegation means that your
full TGT is forwarded the target host should really be trusted because
otherwise someone with e.g. physical access to the host might be able to
steal the TGT and use it as long as the ticket is valid."
Of course if you need to ticket on the target host, e.g. to automount
the home directory, you should enable delegation. But it should be only
enabled where needed and not by default. (There might be environments
where there are only Linux servers in the IPA domain which all need
this but I still think the adding the delegation flag should be a step
on its own because over time all kind of systems might be added to the
domain).
