The only reason I know to avoid automounts at the top level is that, when amd gets into a confused state, it can interfere with your ability to traverse the rest of the system. If, however, all your mounts from bad-nfs-server are under, say, /net/bad-nfs-server, then you just avoid that directory while bad-nfs-server is misbehaving.
