Solid should be quite fine. When queried for devices providing 'Solid::DeviceInterface::NetworkShare', it will only use the fstab backend, which does not block and only reparses fstab/mtab when these change. There are some unnecessary QString constructions in the fstab backend, but these are easily solvable. For better performance, a global static cache with the network filepath()s would be an option.
