I've had for a long time a setup for (Fedora-)laptops where the laptop

This worked nicely until recently (F28/F29) when it seems that automount
was configured to  attempt to mount /home as the user logs on (GDM).
Since this automount fails, the login is terminated despite the fact
that there is a valid /home/<username> on the fs.

So the question is: Is there anything similar in simplicity to set up as
a replacement to the current setup, or, alternatively, how does one
disable the automount from attempting to mount non-reachable NFS mounts
at login time?

This change might be the new systemd automounter.   If your previous configuration
was using autofs, that should still be available.  More detail would be helpful.
