I remember specifically testing some Nastaliq fonts and Hans fixing some small issues I found, I just tested again now and IranNastaliq seems to work (my fork of Nafees Nastaleeq is broken though, but it uses an OpenType GDEF feature not supported by LuaTeX's font loader, so this is expected and not even Arabic specific).
I'm interested in this. We have used Nafees Nastaleeq v1.2 (IIRC), and plan to use it for Punjabi written in Shahmukhi. While this font works reasonably well in XeTeX, there were a couple things we were bothered by. But it's been awhile since we last used it, and we're not experts in this style of Arabic script, so I can't remember the problems, nor would I be confident enough to say much about them anyway.
