Shared volumes can be a great solution for many needs, and over the 
years I've used them often.

I don't have a clue to how to resolve your issue with shared volumes, 
but FWIW I've found that converting an old PC into a local file server 
with Nextcloud has offered all those benefits and more, for the low cost 
of some setup time.

I work on my files locally, with local speed.  And with Nextcloud's 
native clients for all platforms, everything I do is automatically 
synced through the server to my other computers.

Better, I also get versioning.  If I want last week's copy of something 
I've been working on, I just log into Nextcloud and select that from the 
many time-stamped versions it's been maintaining for me.

There's a whole lot more and I've waxed about Nextcloud here too often 
as it is.  But it really is a great package, and once you have a server 
set up on your LAN you can add LC Server to it and put it to work doing 
all sorts of things you don't want to tie up your workstation with, in 
addition to getting automatic incremental versioned backups all day.
