In general, using NFS is a bad idea for a desktop in any case.  As you say
there is any number of conditions due to locking that could cause race
conditions.

Speaking of someone who has been in a very large enterprise environment
where our home directories were all NFS mounted, we never ran into these
issues.  Why?  Because we all ran fvwm and not a full blown desktop OS.

It would be better to run desktops in their own virtual machines or on bare
metal.  Then use desktop backup software to back things up.  This is
precisely the model we are currently moving to.

I'll see if I have one.  But getting a used recent graphics card should be
a fairly easy thing to do, yes?
