Is it using iscsi/srp/nfs/etc for any filesystems?

Yes, dev sda is using iSCSI:

If you remove the driver that is providing transport for your
filesystem the system will hang like you showed.

It can be done, but the process sequencing the load/unload has to be
entirely contained to a tmpfs so it doesn't become blocked on IO that
cannot complete.
