I know autofs will work with nfs. Never used it with SMB. I’ve used it on a share of /home to specifically mount /home/user as needed (e.g., at login).

A shot in the dark, but try setting them up to connect to a hostname instead of an IP - maybe if the name doesn't resolve then it won't get stuck?
