My /usr is only rw when doing dpkg operations. After having successfully
installed the fai packaged, running the fai-setup -v fails because /usr
is again ro.

I think the fact that a user-triggered operation has to write in /usr is
the point why there is FHS violation.

It is not read-only, at least for the -k option of fai-setup, that
install a new kernel in the nfsroot. So the nfsroot is clearly a
read-write object the user can modify and update... It belongs either to
/var or /srv (the latter I prefer, as it is clearly data for a service
exposed by the system).
