I've done this before for the same reason, stability. There's also a
few kernel tunables to look for, such as if you have OSX clients.
(insecure equivalent must be done through kernel tunable for
instance) I've had a fair amount of problems even to this date with
Linux NFSv4 when used with Solaris, it mounts and can see shares for
example, but has unexpected timeouts and occasionally with some flaky
nics drops the connection out. (Mainly on the Linux side)
I haven't seen any performance improvements trying out v4, maybe
slightly less CPU, and then the more advanced features I don't need at
the moment, although it's indefinitely a more secure option if you've
got a KDC and want to use it. For my home network, it's overkill.

FC8 dies for me too due to an NFS problem (see console output
below) -
a reasonable amount of NFS activity triggers it. The linux NFSv4
driver has been improved quite a bit since 2.6.21, but that's the
most
recent Fedora kernel with Xen support (as far as I can tell).
Off on a tangent, but did you realise that you can force Solaris to
only allow NFSv2 and NFSv3? (See NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX in
/etc/default/nfs.)
