Usually .mount units do not allow to replace the mount with new options, or have a duplicate mount.
Systemd brain already has -.mount unit, generated from /proc/self/mountinfo thus one cannot have a second -.mount unit with new/different options.

Thus e.g. instead of re-writing /etc/fstab like shown, it's probably best to have a .service file that executes mount to mount the overlay on top.

Alternatively all the mounts should be executed in the initramfs and not rely on systemd to mount these things.
