No, you should never need to start these manually.

rpc.gssd is started automatically via /lib/systemd/system/rpc-
gssd.service.

My understanding is that idmapd is deprecated and should no longer be
needed, in favor of /usr/sbin/nfsidmap which is triggered via
/etc/request-key.d/id_resolver.conf.

Yes, /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils is populated based in part on
/etc/default/nfs-common.

/lib/systemd/system/rpc-gssd.service declares
ConditionPathExists=/etc/krb5.keytab so perhaps you need to manually start
it (sudo service rpc-gssd.service start) after populating the keytab.

Title:
  [nfs-common 1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5] /lib/systemd/system/nfs-common.service
  linked to /dev/null

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After a clean install of nfs-common 1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5 the systemd
  config /lib/systemd/system/nfs-common.service linked to /dev/null.

  This renders the init-script /etc/init.d/nfs-common useless. 
  No message, nore some hint is printed. Deleting the linked .service enables the init script an get NFS mounts available
