Most add-ons work this way. If not, you can ask the add-on developer if they'll make the necessary changes. It's not hard to take a look at super-poussin's code for the "addons-config" share and do likewise.

Performance wise, ReadyNAS Pro > ReadyNAS Ultra 6 > ReadyNAS Ultra 4 > ReadyNAS NVX. The NVX Pioneer and Pro Pioneer lack some features of the business units, but still have NFS and iSCSI (iSCSI is available via an add-on for the Pioneer on 4.2.13 or greater).
Some adventurous types have even run VMs directly on a Pro (this definitely requires a fair bit of SSH work) and is unsupported.
