The problem with this, and with the earlier example of reading
(and parseing [and reparseing on every change]) /etc/exports,
is that such a solution needs to account for corner cases --
think: LDAP 'add a mount, and deploy homes on demand and on
the fly' at a given chassis, etc.
There is no sensible end, nor reasonable purpose to automate
ALL possible configuration setups, because it is an NP
complete problem and exceeding fragile. (and, as I read this,
putting to side the timeouts and performance hit this imposes)

Source for '1%' please? -- I simply don't believe it, having
deployed and managed 'homes' for thousands of users of Linux
in NFS environments.
