It takes planning and testing but it's not overly complicated IMO. There are scripts provide to import existing users into LDAP. As long as your UID/GID for the users is the same across systems there will be no permission issues. There are plenty of LDAP tutorials and information online. I recommend at least reviewing information and then make a educated decision. I have several LDAP books I can recommend if you really wanted to test it. 8 servers is really not that many but if you have many users it might be a viable solution and can simplify all aspects of user administration. sudo and other utilities will work. Having accounts in LDAP is transparent. The end-user will not notice a difference.

If you think LDAP is overkill for your environment then your going to have to get creative. Just be careful - the last thing you want to do is zero out the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files.
