Thanks David, I think you describe the problem correctly, and your approach could work, but unfortunately it would be a way too complicated mess. As I had written in my summary https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2021-September/039677.html "Since we have 800 users, it would be impractical unrobust to use user-specifc e.g. bind) mounts (e.g. 800 bind-over-mounts). To keep it simple, clear and coherent, all user's homes must be on the same one singular NFS-Share."
I may have explained myself poorly. No bind mount is required. You need one NFS mount over /var/data/chroot/home (yielding /home/<user> for all possible users), and one dynamic mount of user's home directory when they log in. (Dynamically mounting users home directory is quite common and is handled by automount.)
I might also have misunderstood your desire to automount home directories. Perhaps you don't want to do that, and have all user home directories on the one NFS share, mounted over /var/data/chroot/home. If so, great, that's all you need: create /var/data/chroot (a local directory containg dev, home and lib directories, as well as ssh-server executable) and NFS mount the share containing all of your user directories over /var/data/chroot/home.
If I've still not got it right, you might explain to me what is complicated so that I can better understand.
