This is how we do it anyways. You just do it in a suboptimal way. When the cluster switchover takes place, NFS clients get IO error or even need to remount the filesystem. When done "properly", switchover is completely transparent to the clients. That is, even when switchover takes place when the client is in the middle of writing a big file, operation will be completed on the new node and integrity of the content will be preserved. Speaking specifically about /var/lib/nfs location, the recommendation to keep it on shared media is only relevant when the filesystem is exported to network range(s) (as opposed to individual hosts).
