Sure, it is. I mean, your system did shutdown in the end, didn't it?
After the timeouts are hit it will go down anyway, ignoring those
left-over processes.

iirc rpcbind is not needed for NFS to work after the mount is
established. if rpcbind is necessary for NFS mounts it should be
ordered before remote-fs.target, so that NFS moutns are shutdown
before rpcbind goes down. But all of that is really something for the
distro to figure out, systemd upstream doesn't really care about NFS
we just provide the hooks so that distros can order their service
files to the right places.
