kernel is 5.3.11-300.fc31 (the one I am using these days, for F30 I
don't remember but I guess the issue was there whatever the kernel)
My devices are all 3B+, but I can do tests with 3B also.
There is no router between client and server.
No packet is lost
outut from ping
200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 206903ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.357/0.453/0.659/0.036 ms
I am trying this small test
in a shell :
cd /net/NFSSERVER/directories_path/
while true; do sleep 1; ls -al ; done
in another shell
cd /net/NFSSERVER/directories_path/
dd if=/dev/zero of=./data.dd bs=4k count=1000000 status=progress
in the first shell each second, I have a ls command running
when I launch the second command, I have no more updates ( ls is hanged)
whatever the configuration ....
and dd is running with an output such as
Output from RPI3B 1227259904 bytes (1.2 GB, 1.1 GiB)
copied, 99 s, 12.4 MB/s
Output from RPI3B+ & usb ethernet 2765832192 bytes (2.8 GB, 2.6
GiB) copied, 106.039 s, 26.1 MB/s
Output from RPI3B+ & native ethernet 378548224 bytes (379 MB, 361
MiB) copied, 8 s, 47.1 MB/s
on the last one the update is also hanged on dd, here is an update
744927232 bytes (745 MB, 710 MiB) copied, 247 s,
3.0 MB/s
with PI3B I was able to ctrl-c the dd command, and ls restarts to loop
with PI3B+ & usb ethenet card I was able to ctrl-c the dd command, and
ls restarts to loop
with RPI3B+ & natif ethernet I cannot ctrl-c the dd command I needed to
kill -9 the dd process and I got these messages from journal (and ls
restarts to loop)

I am also doing the test
generating a 4GB file locally and scp this file to the NFS server
RPI3B : 100% 4000MB 8.2MB/s 08:06
RPI3B+ & usb ethernet : 100% 4000MB 8.8MB/s 07:32
RPI3B+ & native ethernet : scp freezes after a few very slow MB
transfered : "5% 216MB 4.7MB/s"
and finally I got
client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
lost connection
I don't think this is a NFS issue but more generaly an issue with the
driver of the native ethernet card ??

You don't state which kernel you're running.
I have exactly the same behaviour with all the RPIs.
Are they all 3B+ devices?
When trying to access a NFS server ( perfectly working with my laptops
running fedora X86) with a ls command when a huge transfer is on going,
I have a lot of "NFS server not responding" in journal and ls is hanged.
I tried to replace the onboard ethernet card with a USB 1GB ethernet and
I don't have this issue at all.
I also tried to change port on the switch with the same result ( not
working with on board card, working with USB one)
I also had such network issue with Fedora 30.
Which kernel are you running with F-30? Are you stating you see the
same issue as on F-31.
Are you aware of such a behavior, if not I will open an issue.
Not had one reported, and there are others using NFS on their
Raspberry Pis. We would need a LOT more information than what you've
supplied, the problem with NFS issues is that they are often very
dependent on the local setup, client/server/switch/network config etc
so are often hard to replicate, especially without a lot of extra
details.
