user_namespaces lists in Capabilities section the filesystems that can
be mount:

  Holding  CAP_SYS_ADMIN  within  the  user  namespace that owns a process's
  mount namespace allows that process to create bind mounts  and  mount  the
  following types of filesystems:

      * /proc (since Linux 3.8)
      * /sys (since Linux 3.8)
      * devpts (since Linux 3.9)
      * tmpfs(5) (since Linux 3.9)
      * ramfs (since Linux 3.9)
      * mqueue (since Linux 3.9)
      * bpf (since Linux 4.4)

IUUC this list should add
      * overlay (since Linux 5.11)

Could you add some info about how you discovered/verified this please.

That helps us check the details.

It should rather say overlayfs.

What a coincidence, I just happen to have the relevant Linux kernel
merge commits cached:
92dbc9dedccb9759c7f9f2f0ae6242396376988f aka v5.11-rc1~83
4cb2c00c43b3fe88b32f29df4f76da1b92c33224 aka v5.11-rc7~28
