My cliffnotes solution is as follows, for anyone else that stumbles over this thread in the future with a similar issue: I've just managed to successfully get my shares mounted remotely via OpenVPN following guide, along with a fair few hours of banging my head into my keyboard and trying just about everything under the sun suggested in the remainder of the thread. So while an SSH tunnel was my first approach to this issue, when I started running into issues I wasn't sure how to diagnose, I started working on OpenVPN access as well. That's actually where I started - I've contributed a bit towards the more recent posts, but besides some people claiming to have had success with the Nikhef tutorial, it's been very quiet.

TL DR: OpenVPN worked instead, quick guide included. EDIT: Final Solution in my last post in the thread.
