Yes, that seems reasonable.

By definition all tasks are in dummytop (the top container in the
dummy hierarchy) since you can't create sub-containers in the dummy
hierarchy.

You're right that before you're registered, the current container
won't have a pointer for your subsystem. But calling
container_register_subsys() from container_rss_init_early(), and
having that called early on from init/main.c should be OK.
