Excellent.

If I understand correctly this will not work with
DFS as you only get informed about DFS redirections in
CIFS as you hit them not at startup.

What I have done is to modify 9fs such that if you do
9fs xxx and /srv/xxx exists then 9fs just mounts xxx.

Thus if cifs is not running I can type 9fs dfs to connect to
dfs in "this" window, and plumb 'Local 9fs dfs' to export it to
all new windows. I usually close any idle windows and if there
is one or two I want to keep I just do 9fs dfs again in those
(and !9fs dfs in my sam window) to attach them.

I just live with this behavior it just seems reasonable to me -
but perhaps I am just used to it.
