I see no techincal problem with storing the devices nodes in afs (working
lookup, getattr, and setattr, returning EACCES for read/write/etc).
I see no sane way of making device nodes working (as device nodes), and
having a good and simple access control.

Not in this case. Old redhat install images used to create device nodes on
a ramfs "if needed" for disk-devices.
