Yes, I am

Which NFS server are you using? the std one built into proxmox/debian? 
how do you handle redundancy?


That did suggest to me trying using the fuse client, which proxmox 
automatically sets up. I changed my gfgapi storage to shared directory 
storage pointing to the fuse mount. That is working better, I have 
several VM's running now and heal info isn't locking up or reporting any 
issues.

However several other VM's won't start, qemu erros out with: "Could not 
read qcow2 header: Operation not permitted", which freaked me out till I 
manually checked the image with qemu-img, which reported it as fine.

Perhaps I need to reboot the cluster again to reset any locks or randomness.
