Are there any documented best practices for using NFS home directories on laptops?
I'd say: Don't do it.
I would echo this. I experimented with networked home directories for laptop users for a while and never managed to find anything that resembled a nice experience. Even on Windows it mostly sucks. I don’t expect this reality has changed much.
I would instead look at cloud sync clients. The open source Linux OneDrive client is pretty good these days for example.
Of course the “cloud” end can also be on-premise using OwnCloud or NextCloud or whatever the latest cool thing is.
