I don't have a lot of experience with VFIO, so I can't tell if it's
really solid for the user-space case. Alex W could probably discuss
that.

Same idea back in KVM forum 2017 (briefly mentioned at the end of our
talk with Conrad)
The PoC is still around:
https://github.com/elmarco/qemu/tree/wip/vfio-user/contrib/libvfio-user

That would eventually be an option, but vhost-user is already quite
complicated. We could try to split it up somehow for the non-virtio
parts.
