Irrelevant; chances are that when someone boots a system (e.g., laptop or desktop) he/she is sitting their waiting at the console until the login prompt shows up. And then he/she logs in only to find out that it does not work. Autofs is, of course, detectable; the NFS server less so but there will be a long pause and a message when the NFS server is not present. Of course, an alternate mechanism could be to create an /etc/nologin file at boot when the login services are enabled (only root can login) and then remove that when the "multi user mounts" are up. I've been bit many a time with a "login after reboot" when it was possible to do so prior to all mounts present.
