I don't know how far you want to go. This sandboxing definitely helps
us to isolate processes and make tests more repeatable by avoiding
interference (I don't know if LTP, say, runs tests in parallel).
mount namespaces are useful to later drop all of test mounts at once,
this would solve a significant part of the remote_dir logic. If the
temp dir is on tmpfs in the mount namespace as well, then it will be
automatically dropped altogether with all contents.
