I think a more useful solution would be to engineer FUSE filesystems for

Except you need to modify every host OS to add a userland bridge from the kernel to userspace in the file subsystem, in order to then implement the file system in userland.
Not to mention that not all systems easily even allows such a construct.

Or are you suggesting that you would implement (in Linux or whatever) a userland implementation for each file system you might have on every simulated system? That can also become very interesting, as some file systems have properties that Unix do not have, so exposing this in Unix would be rather magic. Not to mention complex.

I seriously think people are trying solve the wrong problem, as well as not really understanding what the problems and issues are.
