You’d have to extend ‘etc-service-type’ to provide a /etc/exports file,
along these lines:
(simple-service 'etc-exports etc-service-type
`(("exports" ,(plain-file "exports" "…"))))

Yes, that sounds like a reasonable option.
You can probably add to the ‘file-systems’ field a declaration of the
overlayfs and mark it with (needed-for-boot? #f). We need to experiment
with this!
