This is my concern.
So what? If the memory is wanted for something else, it will be reclaimed. How does this differ from any other filesystem? In fact, this memory seems to me more likely to be effectively reclaimed than that holding other vnodes, because (unless you've done something to stop it) the server process is, unlike in-kernel holders of vnodes, eligible to be paged...
