You could presumable add a drop in in
/etc/systemd/system/systemd-nspawn at .service.d/bashrc.conf

which has
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-nspawn ... --bind-ro=/home/francios/.bashrc

Or something similar?

Sure you'd have to ensure you stay up-to-date with any ExecStart changes
from upstream and it wouldn't apply to any manual call of systemd-nspawn
on the command line, but it would get it for machines started from
template units or via machinectl so may get you most of the way there.
