I don't know if this will satisfy you, but I used to have an RFS network
with one 3B2/400 and several 310's (this was a long time ago, don't flame
me). The 400 had a floppy disk and tape drive. I used to install software
from these devices over RFS to the 310's. The backup procedure on the
400 also dumped the 310 file systems which were mounted over RFS.

So it certainly worked for me...
