In your case, yes, I'd see a benefit only on / and /home, because those
are the only *disk* partitions (/proc is a pseudo-filesystem).  Floppy
and CD-ROM, I wouldn't bother.

As for the thin clients, someone else just pointed out that they mount
their root filesystems R/O anyway.  Thus, it does seem logical to me to
not bother for the clients.
