Agreed -- a guest account is great for visitors to my home for all the reasons cited. I have wondered how you added hooks for login and logout -- in my case, for mapping SMB shares. Would the GDM hooks work for that?

For mounting network drives, I would recommend using rclone. Also, many display managers scan for a .xprofile file on login.
