Fed up with the randomness, I added some commands to the client's 
/etc/rc.local file as a workaround to be able to test the system.


#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

systemctl restart nfs-common
systemctl restart autofs
systemctl stop nslcd
systemctl start nslcd

exit 0


I rebooted the client two times and controlled /var/log/syslog each 
time. The first time nslcd failed to daemonize but NFS mounting home 
worked due to nslcd being started from rc.local; second time the 
workaround wouldn't have been needed cause nslcd behaved nicely from the 
beginning.
