If you have /home on its own partition, you don't even need to have it mounted on your file server. Just do a custom partitioning (I presume that you can do that with a kickstart) mounting that partition as /home and not reformatting and Bob's your uncle. I know, as I've been doing that for over two decades.
I did that for a long time (been using Linux since '94), but now I have 10 gigabit ethernet between my desktop and my NFS server. It's fast as heck for /home.
When I realize I need to nuke my machine and start over, it's:
sudo -i dmesg > /dev/nvme1n1 systemctl reboot Choose the right kickstart from the menu. Refill coffee. Go back to working as if nothing happened. My home directory is there and my machine is reset to sane defaults.

Neat! Is there a tutorial somewhere about how to do this?
