I don't think there's a particularly compelling reason. I guess it
lets you avoid a dependency on rpcbind.

Seems like we would just need to modify the build system to not
install `nfs-server.service` and other NFSv3-only service files and
modify the remaining service files to reference nfsv4-server.service
instead?

Which upstream do you mean? nfs-utils, Linux kernel?
