I'm well aware of mounting a common /home via NFS, but was curious about
what would happen with NIS, if someone logged in, without a /home directory.

That depends on the OS and security settings, but by default on the
linux distros I've used, they get "/" as ahome directory, and no rights
to modify it. A very unsatisfying shell session IOW.
