I have always been reluctant to go that path, it felt to complex for my home use case. I generally use ftp instead for this reason, but I guess it's not as efficient.

Kerberos would be far too complex to be warranted here - all that's needed is nfs-kernel-server and /etc/exports on the server side.
Granted, my network is reasonably locked-down (MAC address filtering, (reserved) IP addresses available matching the number of devices on the network), but security beyond that has never really crossed my mind.
EDIT: another common use-case for me is basically grabbing lots of youtube videos/playlists via youtube-dl, which then lets me watch them on anything and everything than can run kodi commercial-free without jumping through hoops (i.e. browser addons or sideloading third party youtube apps, etc)
