I access my on-prem nas (running trunas) using bookmarked ‘servers’ from the gtk file manager. These then appear in a totally predictable /var/run/user/1000/.gvfs folder.
I also use a laptop but run it docked at the office where it can access the nas, and undocked when not at the office. Zero issues with boot up hanging. I’m running Garuda. Might be something you can look into?
