It would be good if a common library/set of APIs to such OS level
services (user-level file systems) can come into common use, which
would use the OS-level facilities if available and if not, provide
emulation at the application level for such services (to the extent
possible).  Similar to, say,  fam/inofity.

In that case, I don't see why anyone would criticize FUSE for its
kludged design; they only did what they had to do to get user-

and doesn't create problems for kernel developers, FUSE filesystem
developers, or the end-users, then it has to be better than not
having FUSE at all.
