This is awesome. NFS is very much undervalued as a cross-platform interface for talking to a (not necessarily remote) filesystem.
~20 years ago I was using SFS (Self-certifying file system), which was a SSH-like Internet-usable TOFU filesystem, using NFS as the "backend" for talking to the host OS. The site has since disappeared, but is archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20080330201843/http://www.fs.net....

My only experience with NFS is it being excruciatingly slow. Is that not a universal issue?
If anything, it's probably one of the fastest ways to access files remotely that I have come across.
When i shared the same conrwnr over nfs and cifs from truenas scale nfs was faster by about 15%..
