Warnings on all disks mounted would be a bonus, but I'd go for the system disk first (although you can already hear the moaning from users that we need to include the other disk(s) as well)
-
Some people run their RPi (or other htpc) on 24/7, so reboots may not happen often.
A script doing a check and subsequent message popup via a cron would help, I think.

The low disk space warning should be something independent. While the thumbnails folder/cache is increasing as the media libraries get filled, the system can run out of disk space. You shouldn't have to look into the Settings Add-on for that.

Do you have folders or filenames with special characters: letters with accents or umlauts, or language-specific characters? Hanewin seems to deal with those a bit different from real Linux NFS servers. Hanewin's listing comes into Kodi for some odd reason when UTF-8 is used or not.
If that all is not the case, then I have no clue.

Try a different SD card with a clean setup. Your current card may be going EOL soon.

Which LibreELEC build/version is running?
-
9 of 10 users will use external storage/drives to play media or use internet-related content, and not so much from the internal SD card. 16GB is more than enough for LibreELEC to run.

If you have to ask, then you definitely don't do things that way.
MySQL => storing your video / music metadata on a centralized remote SQL server, so multiple Kodi clients can benefit from one single Kodi database.

My question was mainly if there was a benefit to switching my Windows server from SMB to NFS Kodi shares.
Once you get past the SMB version and user quirkiness, there is no big difference. They are different means to the same end. You just choose what works for you best.
Now that you mention it, I will consider a way to make regular backups of the library and settings, just in case.
The LibreELEC Settings Add-on has a Backup/Restore tool onboard, which will do fine for settings of Kodi setup. If you do your video/music libraries via MySQL, then other tools are also required.

Any change in file protocols would break your Kodi library, that's true. Kodi is still quite rigid in that area. Although when you first do a full export of your libraries, importing them will go so much faster than scraping your files as if it were the first time.
Personally I'ved used NFS via Ubuntu Linux (10.04 thru 16.04) as a server solution for 7-8 years now, and "it just works".
It is possible to have a Ubuntu Server set up including the NFS stuff in under 15 minutes. That is, once you know how.
Using an old PC as "target practice" is ideal for such things.

Possibly it's a SMB version 'confusion' and subsequent Windows confusion. Plenty of things have changed, externally and internally, since Windows changed their SMB support a couple of times.
Some people have changed to Hanewin's NFS server if you want to stick to Windows. UPnP wouldn't be my choice of file protocol.

Decent LE support you mean?
I meant decent OSMC support, those two go hand in hand.

You almost had them all, hehe. Look here at the orange repository and script entries in this color-coded version: hastebin
FYI: this is not about bullying LibreELEC/Kodi users with the wrong add-ons, but we do want to keep a low profile on everything related to video piracy. Kodi's reputation is already being tarnished for the wrong reasons, and that rubs off onto LibreELEC. We don't want to put more gasoline on that fire.
