Guess what, it turned out that the broken NFS implementation of FreeBSD is unable to handle file locks. Apparently it is using some unexpected ports --- I don't know which ones --- because it kinda worked when I stopped firewalld on the NFS server. That NFS server is serving the same directories and others to other clients perfectly well with no issues. Then error messages showed up in /var/log/messages apparently concerning file locks, leading me to a bug report about it. At the end of the day, I decided to ditch FreeBSD for the server part because its NFS implementation is unusable --- and who knows what other issues may come up. It's probably still fine for the clients because it can be nicely PXE booted. And now you say you got it to work with NFS. How? Neither v3, nor v4 work.
