Connect Docker host to Synology via NFS for container data? (alien.top)

I've seen some conflicting comments in various places regarding whether or not it's a good idea to connect a Docker host to remote storage via NFS. Wanted to get this communities thoughts on this.

I'm early in building out my Docker homelab, but I've installed Paperless-ngx and I have a ton of PDF's that I'd like to move over to it. My Docker host is just a Raspberry Pi and I don't want to be storing all of those documents on its SD card. Not to mention data storage for other containers going forward. What's the general consensus about mounting a Synology share and pointing my data storage at it?

If its just files over NFS its more than likely fine. If its a database of some sort, it might work up until it doesn't, as I found out recently. My Uptime-Kuma DB got corrupted and I had to redo it from scratch. They also say NFS mounts are unsupported so that's what I get.
