Possibly, but the documentation is wrong then.

The nfs man page says that the line is ok, although "intr" and "nfs4"
are deprecated (but should still be working).

You can still try replacing "nfs4" with "nfs" (v4 is still tried first
according to the man page), and removing "intr" (according to man page
it has been ignored for years).

On a related note, why do you use rsize=8192,wsize=8192? If for
performance reasons, AFAIK and IIRC specifying them was useful only 5-10
years ago or so, but now they actually could degrade performance as the
default nowadays is "use as large values as possible", which is
(currently) 1048576. So probably makes sense to remove them too.
