The nfs-config service exists to translate distro-specific startup
configuration into the command line arguments used by systemd to start nfs
utilities. Unfortunately, it is not clear to most users that this service
must be recycled every time startup configurations have been modified, as
this requirement is a change for at least one distro.
We can get rid of nfs-config by generating the startup arguments in an
ExecStartPre option for each service that needs them. We'll also have to
break out the EnvironmentFile into a separate file for each service to
avoid races overwriting this file.
A distro taking this change should also modify their
/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nfs-utils_env.sh script to include the new
EnvironmentFile location for each service.

Ah, thanks Bruce! I should have looked up the original author.
For a point of reference on the work needed within a distro: here's the
smallest change required for Fedora's nfs-utils_env.sh:

This small change just generates the entire set of variables into a separate
file for each service, so it is quite dumb. More sensible would be to only
generate the required set of environment variables for each service.

I don't like having multiple intermediate config files that are all
identical, and I don't like having to run the config script every time
any daemon is (re)started.
I'm not sure what "ideal" would be.
One improvement would be if systemd could be given an executable in
place of an environment file with the implication that it would run the
executable and read environment variables from the stdout.
That would remove the multiple config files.
It would still mean the script is run every time, but I could be
convinced that isn't so bad.
An alternate idea is that maybe systemd could have a directive so that
in any transaction were "this" unit is started, "that" unit will also be
started. Then we could replace "Wants=nfs-config.server" with
"Prepare=nfs-config.service" so if systemd ever needed to start any
nfs-related service, it would make preparations by first running
nfs-config.service - only once per transaction.
But unless you want to hack on systemd, I think what you have is good
enough.
.... hmmm. I wonder what would happen if we just removed
"RemainAfterExit=y" from nfs-config.service. Would it cause things to
fail, or would it cause nfs-config.service to be run every time.
Hey, that looks like it works! Can you double check for me?
i.e. revert your patch, remove "RemainAfterExit=y" from
nfs-config.service, and then see if nfs-config.service gets run any time
any nfs server is started.
Thanks,

Ben, if I understand, EnvironmentFile must be sourced after running
ExecStartPre for this method to work, correct? I was planning on doing
something like this for ganesha project but I couldn't find enough
documentation that says this.

Yep.. that appears to work just fine. Seems like a simpler solution than
this change. It appears to me ( from systemd.service(5) ) that systemd's
state transitions for Type=Oneshot will avoid races that might overwrite the
environment file. Nice find!

The only documentation I found was the source code :-)

Right, the EnvironmentFile would need to be sourced after running
ExecStartPre. Regarding EnvironmentFile, systemd.service(5) states:
The files listed with this directive will be read shortly before the process
is executed (more specifically, after all processes from a previous unit
state terminated. This means you can generate these files in one unit state,
and read it with this option in the next).
I suspect that the EnvironmentFile is sourced before every exec, including
each ExecStartPre.
It looks now like we'll perhaps not use this method after all, as Neil Brown
has found that making the nfs-config.service into a RemainAfterExit=no, and
Type=oneshot means it will get re-started before each service that has it
listed in Wants=. That's nicer because it means we can change less, use
less files, and systemd (I expect) handles the state transitions such that
it isn't run concurrently.
