I don't know if this will satisfy you, but I used to have an RFS network with one 3B2/400 and several 310's (this was a long time ago, don't flame me). The 400 had a floppy disk and tape drive. I used to install software from these devices over RFS to the 310's. The backup procedure on the 400 also dumped the 310 file systems which were mounted over RFS. So it certainly worked for me...
