I gave up on NFS at least a decade ago. You're always getting stale file 
handles and having to reboot some machine which is doing other things and 
can't be rebooted.

I have all my files on a (zfs) fileserver. I keep local copies on my work 
machine. At the end of a work session, I rsync the changes back to my 
fileserver.

My Makefiles have an edit: option which looks with rsync to the 
fileserver, to see if I have the latest copy on my work machine, I pull 
the updates, do my editing. If it compiles, I copy it back to the 
fileserver with a date extension (eg myfile.2025.d070). (No I don't do RCS 
type versioning).

Don't upgrade a working machine - it won't work any
better - it could work worse; it may not work at all.
