So, your actual goal is to allow remote configuration of these Linux devices?
Why must it be done via mounting them like a disk? There are many simpler
options that would require less code.

You keep talking about mounting these devices... I don't see why you're so hung
up on this approach. Why must they be treated like a disk? Why can't you, for
instance, have them accept config updates via a simple web interface? Or use
dropbear and scp the files into place? Or put a FTP server on them?
Why take the very complex route of mounting a remote filesystem?
