Ran into this again just hours after commenting by attempting to unpack a large 
archive file. Apparently the new setup of higher performance host with more 
network bandwidth is just too overwhelming to be usable with NFS with this 
issue.
Reading alone still seems to be fine though.

Torturing 50% of the memory with memtester didn't reveal any problems,
and getting the server to do the unpacking of files does the same mixed
I/O with no issues so far, progressing way beyond where I could get over
NFS, so it doesn't look like an HDD issue either.

The info dumping described here seems to be potentially useful for the next 
catch, so linking it here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg97486.html

At some point I may try to reproduce the issue with just writing to see
if the mixed workload is really required for the freeze, but not sure
when will I get to it, can't just restart NFSd, and the mandatory reboot
to get it going again is only feasible when all other tasks running on
the host can be interrupted.
