As another data point, we're seeing this bug on one of our NFS servers running Ubuntu 24.04.1 with 6.8.0-51 kernel. Also experienced a similar issue to one of the above users with unable to start nfs-kernel-server and trying to restart the service.

One of them exports two volumes that are mounted by the other machine, which primarily uses them as a secondary storage for ccache. After being up for a couple of hours (happened twice since yesterday evening) it seems that nfsd on the machine exporting the volumes hangs on something.
