It's wishful thinking on our part. We really, really want to make the append-only mode with restic work but the security implications of the restic serve model (and mount ? going from memory here ...) make us very uneasy. You are correct - at the very least we should edit that page. We keep coming back to this idea that there must be some way to make it work ...

That's fair. The words "serve" and "mount" ring alarm bells, but I think it's misplaced in this case. rclone "serves" over stdio, so all communication occurs over stdio-over-SSH. rclone doesn't mount, but does have an internal VFS, which is entirely userspace and implemented in rclone's Go.
