(1) I believe that stable inode numbers are possible with FUSE but they must be implemented by the FUSE driver. Mirroring over a network is not the intended use case. The mirrors exist to provide data redundancy for use by the muxfs driver. If you need to copy the data to a new location there is the muxfs sync command.
(2) muxfs uses sequence numbers to count the write operations performed on each mirror. Upon failure to mount due to the mirrors being out of sync a report is printed comparing the first mirror with the first non-matching mirror, and this includes their sequence numbers.
