I use this simple criterias:
- if it runs "simple" applications (e.g. php + mysql, or postgres),
then the default lxd unpriv container should work
- if it requires fuse (e.g. xrdp, with file copy-paste support), then
you need a privileged container (default apparmor profile works)
- if it requires anything that touches the kernel (mount, module
loading, etc) then you'd probably best using other virtualization
solutions

Your best bet would probably to try userland nfs server, e.g.
https://launchpad.net/~gluster/+archive/ubuntu/nfs-ganesha?field.series_filter=xenial

This might also be relevant (at least the "-r" part):
