It's available sice long, 4.3 has, but client list is too long, not
practical, ...

Looking at 5.3 documentation and extrapolating I've got an
undocumented solution: write-mostly ! Just the opposite of what you
are saying.

/home -ro=client,rw

gives write access to the world, read-only to the listed client.

works on 4.3 and up
