I make fstab mount options include:

That way it is only mounted on demand, i.e. when the mount point is "touched".
It's also possible to use x-systemd.idle-timeout=300 which will unmount it after 5 minutes idle.
I use a systemd <device>.mount because I need a "Wants" line to trigger my power-down script. There doesn't appear to be a way to do this via /etc/fstab.
Also, there appears to be no way to set "nofail" *without* using /etc/fstab.
