Jon,

From discussions with a Unix architect, I understood that read-write nfs has some holes that our security teams did not like. We however use read only nfs routinely in many environments. The issues were: 1. Security did not like us using nfs, especially read-write 2. In our Solaris environments, in some older OS releases, stale nfs mounts were problematic.

A question though: Is there a reason why you wouldn't have the nfs mounts on all nodes of the RAC and perhaps control access to that mount point through, say the services framework as opposed to failing the mount point to different nodes?
