I think we want $HOME/nfsroot/$NB_USER here.

Is it required to be an IP address or hostnames could be supported as well? If possible, I'd prefer that both IP addresses and hostnames can be specified here. Most programs can handle both.
And to be consistent with the rest of the file, I'd prefer checking variables with ${board_ip:?}, when the variable is first used (the line below). The error message will be generated automatically by the shell.

The unfs3 manual says hostnames are supported as well so it should work.

The @ unit names are needed when multiple instances of one service need to execute at the same time. Here, at most one unfsd server will be executed. Maybe, we can distinguish different novaboot users unfsd@$NB_USER, but even this is not necessary.
I think that the unfsd subcommand could just create a symlink (e.g. $HOME/nfsroot-link) pointing to $HOME/nfsroot/$NB_USER and and the unfsd.service and even the export file could just refer to this path.

I'm using it for the port variable, what would another option would be to replace the command with a script which sources the .novaboot-shell config file.

You can use EnvironmentFile=... - see systemd.exec(5). Some (randomly found) example is at https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/using-environment-variables-in-systemd-units.html#environmentfile-directive

This means that the service will be automatically started, when somebody logs in. This is not necessary. We want the service to be started only when somebody runs unfsd subcommand of novaboot-shell.
Adding a draft before I can test it. I'm not sure about the systemd unit file, I couldn't find any way to automatically select a free port using systemd, unfs3 doesn't support it.
