Good evening!
Does NFSv4/v4.1 have a limit similar to PATH_MAX? What about
symlinks/reparse points? Is there no limit, or is the limit
configurable, or is the limit >= 4096?

See:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5661
There is no explicit limit.
The local filesystem on the server might impose a limit, but the
protocol itself does not.
The protocol *does* declare that a symlink is valid UTF-8. Linux
doesn't enforce this. This might sometimes cause confusion. But the
length should not.
