autofs still needs FS_USERNS_MOUNT before you can reach that point. But docker does have a mode ?--userns-remap? where it sets up the containers mounts that way.
I think in principle that should work and be safe. I don't know how robust autofs is against malicious users. Which is the question to ask before actually adding FS_USERNS_MOUNT in struct file_system_type.
