<div>Is it possible to setup the hypervisor hosts

thinking that I may be able to use the internal storage of the
hypervisors themselves as a short term stopgap and then migrate
vm's to the upgraded NFS server later. Will that even work, or
will it break somehow?<br>

As Nir pointed out its possible.<br>
I'm using such a setup at home where a NAS provides NFS storage for
hosted-engine and also iso/export/data domains for VMs. Besides that
I have an NFS server on my host for VMs which need a bit of disk
throughput, its got a nice SSD in it. Moving VM disks from the SSD
storage domain to the 'slow' storage domain on the NAS and vice
versa works fine.<br>
Problem with these kind of setups is redundancy which is ofcourse
non-existant :-)<br>
