Nope. If you are deep enough surprisingly few things are alive down there. And if I'm alone in the dark my hearing starts to compensate for my lack of sight. Been under the earth a few times.
I would prefer a lantern or something next to me that I can turn on at any time though.
I blame my ancestors who were mainly miners but I am actually quite comfy underground. Be it in games like Minecraft or real life.
I dream of being able to sleep deep underground in a mine. Warm and completely dark. So dark that you cannot see your hands in front of your eyes. Water dripping in the background. That is my mental safe space tbh.
I don't see why an nfs setup wouldn't work but it could generate a lot of network traffic.
In the end test for yourself if the performance is acceptable and keep a backup
