That job is surely better done with FUSE.

Just about the only thing TALPA can do that FUSE can't is run over areas
of the system, like /usr or /, where frequent transitions to a userspace
filesystem would be damaging to performance.

the problem with fuse is the performance

but also, unless fuse implements similar hooks you would need to have a fuse layer for each scanner tool, and that will make the performance problems even worse.
