I would say so.
Certainly, if you have many nodes and/or many jobs being submitted, you
will see an impact, but in my experience comparing Slurm to SGE, Slurm
has much less overhead to cause as much impact.

Any shared filesystem that both systems can get to will work.
I have done it with NFS, Gluster, appliances (NetApp), etc.
Being in a separate datacenter is fine, but you will see some
latency, which you likely already addressed if you are pysically
splitting a network like that.
Sure, NFS would be the default. I was just worried about the
performance. We tried putting the queue directory on NFS with our SGE
shadow master config, and definitely saw a job throughput/scheduling
performance hit. Would the hit be less with slurm?
