> LDAP is amazing as an identity provider in a data center, but does not offer support for modern authentication methods like oath and oidc.

I don't think lack of support for OAuth is a problem here. OAuth is specifically designed to obtain access to an HTTP service[1], and OpenID Connect is specifically designed for OAuth. LDAP is not an HTTP service.
