NFS was never meant to be a filesystem for diskless workstations,
   Actually both the main (only?) Linux diskless implementations, LTSP (Linux
Terminal Server Project) and DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) use NFS
mounted root filesystems.

    It's many years since the last time I compiled a Linux kernel, but there's a feature I used at beginning:

    In the filesystems section of kernel configuration, there is a section for special filesystems, in which you can enable NFS, and there is also the option for the rootfs being on NFS. If you enable this one, you must tell the address of the server and, when you boot your new kernel, it will nfs-mount the rootfs for you.

    I don't know if "NFS was not meant to be a filesystem for diskless worstations", but this very usage of it has been envisioned and enabled in the Linux kernel, probably from the beginning, and I think it is one of its usages which makes most sense.
