Could you explain what do you mean by "NFS hardware offload"?
Google search points mostly to VMWare-specific "VAAI NAS framework", which doesn't seem to be useful in case of database over NFS.

The other option with NFS is running it in software such as a NFS server on Linux configured with /etc/exports and backing the data to a block storage device. This is CPU intensive and would be much slower under load.
