The note still requires forcedirectio on Solaris and HPUX and cio on AIX even for non-RAC implementations.
Kyle,
It's not clear to me if the NFS implementation is on Linux or on a Unix flavour, because you say " The NFS database is using direct-IO so there is no longer the buffering from the UNIX."

Directio is only required on linux when working with rac. See note Mount Options for Oracle files when used with NAS devices [ID 359515.1]

Is there any requirement to use direct I/O with NFS? (besides performance)
from metalink note: Enterprise Linux: Linux, Filesystem & I/O Type Supportability [ID 279069.1]
��� DIRECTIO is required for database files on NAS (network attached storage).
Is it really� required? I can't find any other reference that supports this.
