This is also the biggest win, for disabling the ZIL completely.  ;-)

Also, on your NFS clients, add the "async" NFS mount option.

Very few NFS servers are servicing clients which cannot accept the risk
introduced by disabling ZIL.  If your server crashes, some stale NFS file
handles linger on some clients.  I've never seen them cause harm (beyond
whatever you normally expect whenever your NFS server crashes) but
eventually you'll reboot your client or dismount/remount, and at that time,
they will disappear.
