but for sure not on a stripped down machine running a iptables-nft 
ruleset, a socket-activated sshd and nohting else

if it's me for server setups the "fuse" kernel-module could be in 
"kernel-modules" which is not installed and needed for virtualized guests

the point is that all this setups where happy without fuse loaded from 
2008 to 2021 and you can't even avoid it with F33 at all, no matter what 
you delete or mask

a active masked unit - seriously? :-)
