Nope, that PR was an attempt to upstream my changes: https://github.com/macOScontainers/containerd/commits/macos
Vanilla containerd cannot mount anything on macos.

I can't stress enough how I also would like it to work with SIP enabled!

Sounds like if Apple wants developers who wants to use containers natively, they need to address the problem of not being able to offer this feature without disabling SIP.
No matter what you or I think about what's needed for adoption, technical problems get in the way of the tool working with SIP, so seems it's in Apple's ball court really.

In corporate managed laptops it may not be an option to disable SIP.
Understatement of the year. I am sure there are some places where being caught doing something like that (without authorization) could result in one of those “my hands are tied, I have to fire you” situations.
Think places where security is a big deal, like finance, military, aerospace, critical infrastructure etc.
Is this related to the code you tried to have merged here: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/8789 ?
