What is the proper way for mounting archives on a recent version of macOS?
FUSE is not natively supported by macOS. There is a macfuse kext, but Apple is currently trying to move such things into userspace. There is fuse-t, but it seems to only have fuse-zip, so there is no support for .rar or .7z files.
Are there any other ways to do this? Or did I miss something when looking at the aforementioned FUSE implementations?

As long as it works, you can use it.

There is fuse-t, but it seems to only have fuse-zip, so there is no support for .rar or .7z files.

macfuse and fuse-t don't implement custom file systems themselves, they only provide means for such implementations. fuse-t should work with many existing FUSE implementations, they don't need to target it specifically. For example, I think here the same ntfs-3g installation was used with both macfuse and fuse-t.

Are there any other ways to do this?

Not that I know of, but I know very little about macOS, so there may very well be other options.

If you would like to make a bug report or feature request consider using GitHub, SourceForge or e-mail. Posting such things here is acceptable, but this is not a perfect place for them.
