IIRC iscsi is a block-level protocol so sharing between multiple Pis would likely be problematic.

IIRC, but there's an 80%+ chance I'm wrong, read only access might be possible.
NFS is IMHO the best solution for an all-Linux host client environment and is easier to configure than Samba.

I second the motion for NFS but it isn't necessarily easier to configure than Samba. If your numeric UIDs and GIDs don't match on evey Linux machine owner, group, and permissions won't work as expected. That isn't a problem with Samba beacuse SMB doesn't support them and they get faked in the drivers on the client.
Plus, with Samba you'll need to install Samba client software on each one of those clients).

That depends on the OS. SMB client software is baked in to RPiOS.
