Well I don't see the point of iSCSI then. iSCSI is a block level protocol while NFS and Samba work at the file level.

I gather from a prior post that rsync has a remote ssh function. If that's not the case then I guess it has to be sshfs. No NFS and Samba are not ancient bloatware. What other protocol would you use for a company file server? Rsync and SSH are not replacements for group file sharing. Just use rsync over SSH.
