I have the same concerns.  Unfortunately I don't know enough about
NFS interoperability issues to say whether it would cause problems
or not.

OTOH we have been moving toward giving our default configurations
better performance at the expense of a small amount of failsafe-ness.
I'm inclined to think this might be a good candidate for that trend.
