Purely for the pleasure of allowing the server to maintain inaccurate
statistics about who is currently mounting what? I think not...

You can get far more accurate results by replacing the MNT/UMNT state
counter with a purely server-based scheme to track who accessed one or
more files on each exported partition in the past 5 minutes or so. That
would even work with NFSv4...

Agreed.
