NFS servers can remap remote UIDs to anything they want. This has been normal practice with less trusted clients for decades.

If you're dealing with unreliable networks, you probably want a remote syncing system as opposed to any rpc oriented remote filesystem. Rclone works remarkably well for that purpose.

In any case asserting that SMB is somehow preferable to any other option is insanity.
