I know you made many changes in FUSE unfortunately our production 
servers are on 11.3. They will be upgraded later in Q2 2020.
I believe FUSE works much better now but smbnetfs is still kind of 
complicated to use globally from fstab instead of per user.
I will try to find some 12.1 machine and try to benchmark it with 
smbnetfs in January. I will let you know.

Kind regards
