I'm curious if there are other people interested in this.
I think mounting filesystems is useful in some cases but anylinuxfs could potentially support interface similar to rclone - which gives you the option to perform file transfers without mounting anything (e.g. anylinuxfs ls/cp/mv).
The actual protocol is open to debate, it could be virtiofs, or anything TCP or VSOCK based. Maybe rsync could be somehow used as is?
I think this could ultimately be more reliable for file operations when you don't need to pretend your files are accessible "locally" under a native filesystem path.
