Well, "nofail" means that we shouldn't bother if the device doesn't show
up at boot. Now, if we add "After=" for it there, then we will time-out
on it (though not fail) if something else pulls it in.

I figure this is a question what nofail really should mean: "never wait
for it, never fail for it" (which is the status quo), or just "usually
don't wait, never fail for it" (which would be the change if we added
After= in). I am tempted to say that the status quo is more likely what
people would expect, no?
