This seems to be strictly an NFS problem, not related to Gnus. If you
figure out what you can do to bring the NFS connection back to life
(maybe calling directory-files on an NFS directory would help), you
can add that action to gnus-get-new-news-hook so you'll only have to
type g once.

If you make changes sometimes on one machine and sometimes on the
other, you might have difficulty determining which side is right at
any given time. But assuming you can figure that out, and assuming
you sync things so that all the contents of the maildir, including
.nnmaildir/*, are the same, you should be fine. Beware that nnmaildir
uses lots of hard links; if your copying tool creates new files
instead, you'll be using lots more inodes.
