I see you are in for having some fun.
Question: do you think Oracle needs to continue to run when your NIS server is down? If you don't think so, go ahead, and be prepared for trouble.
Also be aware in Unix files the uid, and the gid is stored NOT the username. I had some fun several years ago, because the NIS uid and gid were not identical to the local uid and gid. I would avoid NIS *like hell*
