Maybe.
The reason nbd is in runlevel S is because it needs to run before
mountnfs.sh, otherwise filesystems won't be mounted properly. The init
script has a line "X-Start-Before: mountnfs" to enforce that. It could
work if either Ubuntu doesn't support non-systemd installs anymore, or
if mountnfs (or its systemd equivalent) has been moved out of S as well.
This would require some testing to be sure, though.
