It is my feeling that you have been unnecessarily slammed. I have not tried the experimental NFS but then again I am not running the latest FreeBSD either. When I do update my FreeBSD, I will be sure to use your experimental version. My main interest is interoperability with systems other than FreeBSD such as Solaris, Linux, and Apple's OS X. Client throughput of FreeBSD's default NFS is low. I would be hoping to get more throughput. Also, modern NFS uses TCP so I would expect to use that. I am also using the automounter and hope that the updated NFS works at least as well (or better) than the default one.
