Being mounted outside the container isn't the problem. The problem,
depending on who you ask, is that the tools want /proc to be something
it isn't. The ideal, according to kernel community, would be for
someone to write a new library which can integrate the /proc and
cgroup information to give the desired information to userspace
tools like top and free - not to keep trying to paper over /proc.
That said, after many years noone has sat down and volunteered their
time to actually write such a library and propose patches to the
rest of upstream (top etc) to use those - so papering over /proc
still is appealing :)
