If mp4box isn't a generally acceptable solution, I would suggest adding a programme option and associated logic that could force transcoding for cases where ffmpeg remuxing won't work.   Of course, a user might also have a ffmpeg build without libmp3lame or libfaac, but there's not much you can do in that case.

Incidentally, I'm actually using the latest ffmpeg build from the
