I assume that it is SMB and CIFS that causes problems.

I do not think it is as simple as that. I have been successfully working with the library on an unRAID box with SMB access and Windows client. On Windows I have Calibre and the files it uses set to be excluded from virus checking. I also normally use the option in Calibre to explicitly set the database location to be local as that vastly improves performance, but it works OK without that.
It seems very hit-and-miss as to whether it will work for any combination of NAS and client and protocol. I think there are other factors such as your virus/internet security software and the setting you use that can come into play as well.
