I haven't had much time to think about this but your description leaves
a very important question unanswered. Is it valid/safe to be able to
mount proc with different hidepid and pidgid values for the same pid
namespace.

My concern would be that you would be opening up a security hole for
someone, by allowing those options to change.

At a practical level I wonder in what kind of situation do you want
some mounts of proc to hid proc entries and some mounts of proc not to?
