The problem with that is that the npcs are not blocking anymore, and projectiles on serverside are flying through them, while they are blocked on clientside. So you might be hurt without seeing any projectile. That problem can be quite annoying if projectiles fly long ways, you can reduce the range by changing the shoot-parameters though. It is planned that the problem with those non-blocking npcs will be fixed soon.

Is that not due to improper scripting?
