That's basically what the Firecracker jailer does. Always my thoughts turn to the waitid(2) vulnerability; for a little while, you could pass kernel addresses through it and whack arbitrary kernel memory, and nobody was ever going to seccomp "waitid" out. But yes: it's a meaningful defense, if not one you'd want to bet your service on.
