I take it you have read https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/sharedsubtree.html which says "A shared mount can be replicated to as many mountpoints and all the replicas continue to be exactly same" and seems to be trying to say your use case is valid. I'd be interested to follow your discussion with the kernel devs if you could post a link.
