In the few months since my comment you've linked, I've put some work into a possible FUSE-less Bedrock implementation. It will likely have some downsides compared to a FUSE-based solution, but the trade-off may be worthwhile for some users. While it's too early to commit to this, I'm hoping to eventually support switching between a FUSE-mode and a non-FUSE-mode with a reboot to allow users to pick the desired trade-off in the desired contexts.
