I've been exclusively using my $HOME over NFSv4 across many boxen for years. My NFS is exported by TrueNAS CORE [1] powered by an EPYC 7443P (recent upgrade). I can saturate my 100 GbE (~ 12.6 GiB/s) with NFS traffic. In my testing, NFS meaningfully but not substantially beat Samba in bandwidth and with much less server load (sorry I didn't keep data). Even though using a NAS is slower than a native RAID0 of NVMe/PCIeG4 drives, it gives me shared, automatic snapshots, automatic replications, etc. It's totally worth it. NFSv4 rules. ADD: [1] TrueNAS SCALE was _just_ released and I'll be evaluating this seriously and expect to migrate to it.
