They are not holes if you mean security, they are stability and data
integrity issues we regulary step into as server load and number of
files grow.
The fourth issue is https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/24/721, it has not
its own nixpkgs ticket, discussed in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/239

For some tests containers certainly aren't enough,
What matters are that the tests are valid, reproducible and not too slow.
If you want to replace the filesystem and it improves any of these
qualities I don't see any problems :)

9P is used by NixOS to share host's nix store with Qemu virtual
machines. Such technique is used in the build process, in the
test-driver, so to say in the critical places.
Recently few bugs in 9P were found (#23957 #23020 #22695) which
reveals that 9P code is not very mature and perhaps NixOS is t
