I guess that reliability will improve. If performance will improve
would be guessing real hard.

Because there is only one server or because these applications today
use the file system that is exported by SMB? In AFS, you always access
AFS space through a client mount, not the files on the server.

Another aspect is security. I like my AFS servers separate.
