No, you should use libnetfs, because the nodes in the directory
hierarchy provided by tarfs are "virtual" - in a way.

I think you're misunderstanding something. The whole purpose of tarfs
is to provide transparent access to tar archives _without_ the need of
extracting the archive. Instead of extracting, you should be able to
simply use tarfs, which then provides a virtual filesystem for the
archive content - just as it has been extracted.
Some notes:
- tarfs should scan a given tar archive and construct a data structure
with the information it needs
- it could then for example build a complete hierarchy of nodes, which
corresponds to the content of the tar archive
- then all the netfs function have to be implemented to operate on
these data structures...
