I have been using MythTV on a split frontend/backend since 0.18 (or
maybe even 0.17), always mounted over NFS, and following your advice,
it's the only time I set it up (nor knew about this).

After reading all the performance impact, I disabled it once again.

It's never been an issue , even for liveTV with stream from backend or
direct access.

So it can definitely work without it from what I can see
