The reason why I bring this up here is that in container land, there
are those who believe that "container root" should be able to mount
file systems, and if the "container root" isn't trusted, the fact that
the "container root" can crash the host kernel, or worse, corrupt the
host kernel and break out of the container as a result, that would be
sad.

I was pretty sure most file system developers are on the same page
that allowing untrusted "container roots" the ability to mount
arbitrary block device file systems is insanity.
Agreed.
For me I am happy with fuse.  That is sufficient to cover any container
use cases people have.   If anyone comes bugging you for more I will be
happy to push back.

The only thing that containers have to do with this is I wind up
touching a lot of the kernel/user boundary so I get to see a lot of it
and sometimes see weird things.
