I'm looking at NFS-mounting /usr for a largish number of machines, with the
basic idea that then I can just keep the binaries on the central server up-to

be very open-minded about /usr being read-only. OTOH, I probably wouldn't
need to run apt very often on the workstations unless there's a change to
config file formats or an all-new package is being installed.
Any Debian-specific advice on running a setup like that?
Just remount it rw before you run apt. If you only run it every couple of
weeks that won't be a problem.
