Wouldn't the o::--- default ACL, like mode o-rwx, deny others access in the way you're describing?

See 6.2.1 of RFC8881, where NFSv4 ACLs are described. They are quite similar to Windows ACLs.

Here is kernel dev telling they are against adding NFSv4 ACL implementation. The relevant RichAcls patch never got merged: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/15/52
