Hello, I don't see real problems with NFS mounts from /etc/fstab, I am using it with homedirs on about 14 clients with NFS4 and MIT Kerberos. NFS is not needed for booting. After booting /home is mounted. Maybe NFS comes up before the network is accessabel, it does not wait. The only point is an ugly red error during boot.
