It doesn't really matter where folders/mounts are. Users can share any
directory (and subdirectories) in their home directory with any other
user. The shared folder is mounted in the special directory "Shared
with me" of the recipient home directory. I.e: John/Sales/Invoices is
mounted in Alice/Shared with me/Invoices.

Symlinks are no good since the user sharing his directory can decide
to share it read/write to one user but read only to another

Can be done with symlinks.

I imagine there's some process that creates these bind mounts, so the 
process could create symlinks.

This can be solved with ACLs. Instead of creating a bind mount, this 
process that allows the user to share the directory can set an ACL and 
create a symlink.
