If we're talking about the x2gothinclient-displaymanager package, this is not "NFS based or anything else" centric and it can be used for both modes.
It just installs x2goclient and configures it to start at boot as a DM replacement.
I do agree that Live Build with no dependency to any network FS is the way to go.
For what I can tell, a "full TCE" mode (which means booting to x2goclient, not mini desktop mode which highly depends on what you install in your image) can easily fit in a client with 1Gb memory, maybe less and this is far more reliable and faster.

Alex has a customer (I think) that wants to see TCE-NFS being kept alive 
- so while someone is actively maintaining it, we can keep it. 

IMO, the Debian-Live based TCE is the way to go, though, as it only 
requires a few startup scripts to be maintained as patches, and a build 
script. The NFS-based solution seems to require a lot more manual work 
and constant changes to keep it running and supported on newer Debian 
releases, at least that's my opinion and why I started building TCE-Live.
