I sincerely thank everyone who provided feedback - it was incredibly detailed and helpful. In the meantime, I discovered an alternative approach to achieving a shared setup by using:
Windows VirtIO Drivers (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_VirtIO_Drivers)
+
Virtiofs (https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/)
I followed the instructions outlined in this video:

However, I am now wondering: Would Samba be a more efficient solution?
Best regards,
Paul

I always tweaked the parameter that determined who would be master browser to be my Linux server. Having anything that needed rebooting often (Windows), or wasn't there all the time, caused no end of trouble. It's appearance would cause a master browser fight, you could have 15 minutes of no-worky if something transient won that battle, then later disappeared.
That kind of shenanigans, plus the mangling of file permissions, caused me to plump for NFS whereever it was possible.
