I don't see any way of getting this anywhere near the kernel without a full rewrite. It's C++ and it depends on libraries that aren't even shipped by a lot of distributions (folly & fbthrift). And, tbh, I don't see much benefit given that FUSE these days doesn't seem to be significantly worse in terms of performance.

Overlay the mounted read-only fs with a read-write fs. Then you can install modules as you like and if you want to start fresh, just throw away the read-write fs. That's what I've done in the past.
