Do you also handle the core file use case? There you might not have the right /usr/bin/true version on disk. Recent Fedora releases use /usr/lib/.build-id which you could provide through the Fuse file system. On Fedora those are symlinks to the binaries installed, but you could provide the actual binaries instead. That would be somewhat similar to the debuginfod /buildid/BUILDID/executable request then.
