Wouldn't be easier in the short term to just get Copy-on-Write
working? Just mapping writes to /usr, /var etc. to user-writable
directory should work fairly well so long as the admin doesn't
uninstall/reconfigure too much stuff (If the admin's writes were also
trapped, or if the filesystem itself also implemented CoW, it could
work perfectly).
