I would second Alejandro's comments. On our RHEL and Oracle Linux servers, if the sssd service is misbehaving and not able to start -- it does not prevent the OS from fullycoming up.
Of course, it's then an annoyance to log in. (in ssh, we disable remote root logins -- so we have to login with either a local account or as root on the console). But the OS is fully up; logging in and fixing any underlying sssd issues is a maintenance issue. Your problem sounds like a Ubuntu-specific problem.
