So question I have for the dovecot team, does running Maildir over NFS work well? Or would you recommend that all user mail folders be stored locally on the mail server when using Maildir?

As long as you have only a single Dovecot server accessing mails at the same time (that includes Dovecot LDA, but not non-Dovecot LDA), there won't be any reliability problems. For better performance you could then also put index files on local disk.

If you have multiple servers accessing mails at the same time, I recommend v2.0 with director enabled.
