I've never had any problem saying that
everything is a file.  I usually emphasize
that that means not just the things that
are files on Unix.  Saying everything is a
file server or a file system sounds pedantic
yet less precise.

The real problem with trying to summarize
Plan 9 with a sentence like that is that you're
missing 2/3 of the syllogism.  The rest is
there is a simple way to share files, and
therefore you can share everything.
