I implemented the former in my policy. ie the dir_file_class_set equiv..

4163               (allow subj bind_path_obj_type_attribute (dirs (create)))
4164               (allow subj bind_path_obj_type_attribute list_dir_perms)
4165               (allow subj bind_path_obj_type_attribute (dir (mounton)))
4166               (allow subj bind_path_obj_type_attribute create_file_perms)
4167               (allow subj bind_path_obj_type_attribute (file (mounton)))

As you can see i even allow systemd to create the mountpoint in case it does not exist. For example if /etc/machine-id does not exist and I have a BindReadOnlyPath=/etc/machine-id then systemd will touch /etc/machine-id and mount it ro

It also generally buggy. Systemd does not (alway's) use setfscreatecon to create the mountpoints. And sometimes it does use setfscreatecon where it shouldnt.
