FTA: “problem 1: webdav or NFS?
The two filesystems I could that were natively supported by Mac OS were WebDav and NFS. I couldn’t tell which would be easier to implement so I just tried both”
I might find out that it is incomplete, buggy or a nuisance to use, but FSKit (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/FSKit) would be my first choice.
FSKit was released with Sequoia in March 2025. This blog post was written in December 2023—so at the time it was written, FSKit was not yet an option

I wrote my comment two days ago. I don’t think the title contained “(2023)” then.
macOS actually has an excellent SMB client, so the options actually are: WebDAV, NFS (3.0 and 4.0), SMB, FSKit.
By excellent do you mean bearable? macOS’s SMB stack is certainly not excellent.
By bearable do you mean it exists? It's fucking shite.

Won't the SMB implementation be sufficient to mount git commits as folders?

AFAIK, SMB doesn't support symbolic links.
Git should not have supported them either.
