SeaweedFS supports WebDAV. https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV
I'm not able to find if both/restic supports mounting backups as WebDAV, but in theory there's nothing stopping you.
It's 100% user space (expose a rest service) and supported by a bunch of file-browsers with a bit of a network aware component to it as well.
