Could you take a mtools-like approach and not remount it at all, just map it and write from userspace?

Not with the interface that exists now, no. And we wouldn't really want to leave it up to userspace anyway - there are various firmware-based issues that we want to work around in kernel, and relying on userspace to adopt policy there is unlikely to end well.
