no, not really.

SCM has to be online for
 - managing (in practice creating or deleting) volumes
 - managing (creating or deleting) users
   (assuming you would have users' passwords in an independent database
   like Kerberos)

Those are administrative operations, as a rule done by humans,
usually delayable without problems in case the server is temporarily
unavailable.

Not really. SCM as such is not vital for file access.
