I don't think this is possible given the security model around
automount. Specifically, the automount needs to associate with a mount
unit to invoke the "mount" command as root.

It would seem possible to use it with a new UID namespace, but such
capability is very new and disabled in kernels like Fedora's. You
could also just treat FUSE mounts as normal services in the user
account.
