I believe that having it in the static passdb is sufficient.

The Director does not support proxy_maybe. When using it, all logins are
proxied.

Additionally, you can get rid of any other passdb/userdb sections you've
got on the Directors; the LDAP directory should not be queried at all
since the Director can just proxy everything through to the backends and
let them figure out whether or not the user/pass are valid.

Let me know how it works for you, or if there are any enhancements you'd
find useful.
