Short of teaching osmo-bsc to listen for and handshake SCTP/IUA ... Maybe you
could just open Abis/IP connections from your stub to osmo-bsc and feed OML and
RSL through those? e.g. using the libosmo-abis client, like osmo-bts does?

Let me plug here: In case you would like to have more concrete and timely
assistance than a public mailing list can provide in developers' free time,
maybe it would help you to book professional support from an Osmocom affiliated
company? (My employer comes to mind.) It's not mandatory, of course, but
especially for professional use of Osmocom it would be good to support the
community ecosystem.  Booking support hours (that helps pay developers' wages)
is just one possibility, more ways would be to contribute patches /
documentation / ... As you see fit.
