I don't have block devices fail very often, but if you run "systemctl list-dependencies nfs-server" you should see your mount points listed as dependencies. For example, I export a filesystem mounted at "/export", and I see "export.mount" in the dependency list for that service. Given that, I would expect nfs-server to stop if the "export.mount" systemd unit (the /export mount) failed.
