If you want to just ignore the ACLs on account of not needing anything
beyond the file mode, aka standard UNIX permissions.  Filesystems
support either POSIX.1e ACLs, or NFSv4 ACLs, not both.  I didn't
actually test NFSv4, but I guess it uses NFSv4 ACLs, not POSIX.1e.
ZFS supports NFSv4 only.  UFS supports either POSIX.1e or NFSv4,
depending on the mount options.
