Because you have to distribute the certs to the client anyway, you can use
self-signed certificates and set whatever expiration you want.  There's
the standard tradeoff of long certificate lifetime, but so far as I know
there's no reason why you can't set your KDC public key certificate
lifetime to 50 years or whatever.

I agree with your other points, though.
