Instead of discussing NFS too much, does anyone have a way to make this
work with Samba, or am I out of luck, and do have to try a different
filesystem?
OT: Why can't mailing lists have reply go to the list?

Let's not unfairly slag off NFS here. Yes, NFS when configured to use
AUTH_SYS trusts the client machine. But if you used krb5 with nfs it's a
whole different ball game. Yes it's often not used in that way, but it
worked
with NFSv3, and it works with NFSv4.
There are far cleverer criticisms you can have of NFSv3 than that.
