I haven't tried VNC yet but my first guess was that a fat client would
have a better performance rather than running VNC. I will try go get
more information about this on IRC channel.
Thanks for your input.

With ltsp-pnp client starts ldm login program. When you enter your
login and password this ldm program connects you to the server with
ssh-x session and sshfs mounts ssh user (used for login) home

that are used in manners to protect the user sessions and users from
reading other users files (home profiles, files). Similarly if you
have local computer with multi-user Debian Gnome desktop you shouldn't
get any access to other local users homes. The special mount point
settings in the server you just played with and configured
(nfs,sshfs,symlinks) are literally "special" mount points in addition
to normal home profiles and you understood Now that Linux multi-user
home profile directories can be considered special share too. If you
share home directories You Are not using Linux home directories in
standard way - You should if you want to use multi-user server or
desktop PC . trying to share all home profiles with other users...
neither special mount points, or traditional Linux home profiles don't
have any meaning. It's your special use case (whether in ltsp network
or in local desktop) how you want to manage the user data/home profile
access rights.
Also as You Are building a home network I think it's different setup
from any ltsp network or any industry client network and very
difficult to answer how ltsp server fits to your needs. You didn't
first mention it... questions and answers you got here were not
accurate.
if you want to discuss about your LTSP plan, have a Quick look first
into ltsp.org and read Support page how to contact LTSP project irc
channel. It will save yourself a lot time and you get forward in your
project with or without LTSP.
Do You really benefit from full centralized network boot server
infrastructure or can you use just do with traditional Debian
distribution a shared disk storage and/or remote desktop? In my
opinion LTSP is useful in provisioning at low cost and quickly many
computing resources on centralized infrastructure. and in your use
case you Are juts trying to share disk storage and remote desktop?
there might be easier and Better alternatives (remote desktop software
is available on all popular OS).
If you contact to irc channel then After The question other users
get back to you using their nickname and might ask more questions
about the use case to guide you forward (if some LTSP network fit or
doesn't fit to your case). after The question be patient and keep the
irc window open
most of the people are experienced ltsp professionals so while you
discuss listen what they recommend regarding LTSP in your use case.
also people might not be available all day so after The question be
patient (prepare to keep irc Window open full day)

I'm using Debian as a multi-user platform for the members of my family.
The data within the home-directory are physically stored within two
different partitions (e.g. with a different block size for /home and
/home2) to speed up large files like VirtualBox Images and so on (
/home2 is included to /home via symlinks). Since it is a privat network
there was (almost) no need to change the default settings for files and
folders and users are able to read from other users home directory which
makes file sharing very easy.
Since children are getting older and want to use the computer more often
I've installed a LTSP-PNP client as an additional working station and
have mounted the 2nd home-partition (/home2) via LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS
- the same symlinks from the server can be used for the client as well.
Now, users (working on the client) are able to read from other users
/home2 which is fine since I have the same situation at the server.
However, users are not able to read from other users /home because only
one user-directory (the directory of the actual user) is mounted at
/home by default.
Is there a way to have all user-directories be mounted at /home?
