clatd predates Jool, or at least the necessary SIIT bits within Jool.
If I was to re-implement clatd today, I would do it using Jool as the
translation engine instead of TAYGA. As Alberto has pointed out
already, you can do this with Jool no problem.

All you need to do is to enclose Jool in a private network namespace.
Then you point the IPv4 default route to the veth device connecting to
the Jool network namespace (in exactly the same manner that clatd
points the IPv4 default route to the tun device connecting to the TAYGA
process).
