William,
I'm happy with the architecture options, as this is a company WAN with
dedicated fibre links, and I'll be securing the database and NFS servers
comprehensively.
All I need are case studies to assure the customer that they're not the
first people to do this on Asterisk. Positive reports on either method
are fine, as long as they're in the several thousand user range, and are
for production systems.

I'm planning an Asterisk Voicemail system of around 3000 users spread
across several sites, each site connected by a fast network to a central
site. We're considering 2 models:
- Central Voicemail with VoIP calls from remote sites (easier to
administer the system(s)).
This will work.
- Voicemail server at each site with shared database and NFS server at
the central site (easier to connect to the existing PBXs for MWI, etc).
I really don't think that you want to run NFS over the wide area.
Not only do you have to be very very careful security-wise (i.e. do
it over IPSec or something and make sure your NFS is not visible from
the Internet itself) but do you really want to deal with the local
VM server wedging when something funny happens on the network between
the remote and central sites? It's not impossible but IMO you're asking
for trouble doing it like this.
