Is it just me or have Linux and MacOS adopted SMB as their de facto network drive standard without either, at any point, getting good at it

Like I am currently using SMB to copy files from a Linux machine to a Linux machine because that's what Linux machine #2 was configured to have set up and omggggg it locks up for so long every time I ask for a directory listing during ongoing file copy operations
Presumably if I fucked around long enough I'd figure out how to set up NFS on busybox
I don't guess there's a way to set up GNOME nautilus so if you start a lot of file copy operations at once it queues them nicely instead of starting a traffic jam and fucking the seek on this poor spinning rust drive? Is there? On Windows you can install Teracopy or whatever
The eternal conundrum: spend half an hour figuring out how to configure nautilus or rsync at the one end and how to set up nfs on the machine that only has smb at the other? Or just drag a bunch of things and go to bed while you wait for the 2000 1kb/s transfers you just started to finish? There are many variants of this.

I've had decent luck with sshfs on occasion, FWIW.
