Welcome to the Arch Linux Forums. You opened with a fairly good post that is on topic, but do keep an eye on the age of the threads; this one is five years old.

remove _netdev
replace noauto by auto
Doesn't make too much sense to me, but it works
]]>EDIT: Spoke too soon. This thread is marked solved, so I won't bring up my issues here. Started a new thread instead. Apologies for the mess.

I was leaning more towards are there any benefits of this over mounting at boot?
Sure. You don't have to worry about when the network comes up.
Is it configured for every user automatically? Is it mounted by user or root?
It's mounted by root according to the options in fstab. It's exactly the same as if you were insisting it mount on boot.
Why is an automount unit better than automatically mounting during boot?
Boot won't explicitly hang waiting for this to mount -- only for the automount to be initialized on the mountpoint.

]]>I'm connecting to a wireless network with WPA2 (WUSBN v2) using the NetworkManager service. How do I configure/check this network.target?
]]>Alternatively, just use an automounter on the share and let it be mounted on first access -- add noauto,x-systemd.automount to the options.
