Also I was wondering if there was way to do the dynamic instrumentation
"in-band" if that makes sense. (Like using a separate thread in the same
process so that there is no need to have a separate mutator process to
do it.)

There have been various projects in the group over the years that do in-band (or first-party, as we refer to it) instrumentation. As far as I know, none of them have taken a separate thread approach. There's also Dyninst's binary rewriting mode, where the parsing/codegen/instrumentation process occurs once up-front and then you run the instrumented binary on its own.
