Have you used NFS for persistent storage in prod much? I know people do it, but numerous solutions architects have cautioned against it.

My experience with NFS over the years has taught me to avoid it. Yes, it mostly works. And then every once a while you have a client that either panics or hangs. Despite the versions of Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows changing over the decades. The server end is usually a lot more stable. But that's of little to no comfort to know that yes, other clients are fine.

However, if you can tolerate client side failure then go for it.
