We've got a IIsi with Apple's NuBus/FPU adapter and a Kinetics (now Shiva) 
EtherPort II NuBus ethernet controller and everything works great.  Using the NuBus adapter (and providing you are using Apple's or a third party 1" thick hard disk) there's enough room inside the IIsi for any single-width full-length NuBus card.  The only real consideration is power consumption.
