That, unfortunately, has not been my experience.  I am on the 0.19.1-1.1
version, which I installed in 2016 from raspian. Maybe things have
improved since then in other mainline distros.

How would mpd know to wait? The config just specifies the hard path that
mpd uses to read audio files from. It would have to know when nfs
actually mounts.

Finally, my rc.local approach also incorporates amixer calls to set the
volume on startup. I too often found myself having to manually sign on
and set the volume manually after upgrades. No longer.
