Can't you read even if you do the whole fuse setup as root (including
real user-id etc.)?
If that's a real problem with fuse in some applications, I'm surprised
there isn't at least an option, available only to root, to relax it.
Or maybe they just don't know about this scenario, and a fix would be
welcome...

Yeah, it's a really nice idea, thank you :-)
A FUSE-style "userspace block device" which doesn't require any root
access would be nice in principle, but qemu-nbd does the job and
doesn't require any add-ons.
