NSCD the protocol might be decent enough(?), but nscd the daemon is a horrible architecture, and said architecture is a big reason why it has largely been replaced with sssd.

The NSCD daemon itself is a mess, but the NSCD protocol is dead simple. There is even a bridge allowing the use of NSS modules via NSCD: https://github.com/pikhq/musl-nscd/tree/master

It basically was ignored by everyone.
