What kind of USB device are you considering whose data can't be exported.
i.e. why not export the FS on the USB flash drive? I have a feeling you're
going for something else here, though. Perhaps USB audio or something
without persistent storage.

usbd is part of the play.
it has to enumerate and recover from
errors. appart from that you can
export #u, but don't use another
usbd on it. one is enough.
just start your driver.
if you can, it may be better to
export the driver fs instead.

Would the latency be too high?
my experience is similar to Erik's. as distance grows it's better to
deal with a higher abstraction. there's less chatter and so not as
affected by latency.
For what it's worth:
VirtualBox has USB over RDP.
I have no experience with this, though.
