/boot is typically located on the same disk as root, so that should be ok. /srv and /home, however, would be problematic root mounts. You can use automount to fix /home but /srv should be mounted under /usr or /var.

Mounting NFS or busy disks on the root dir is not a good idea on any server where filesystem i/o performance is an issue.
