Problem is right there, cultural, the perception that the only valuable activity is plugging away at the keyboard. I think many companies don't provide the time and flexibility for their people to grow together. Probably short-term vs long-term thinking.

The major issues with non-employed mentors are code access and familiarity. I would never allow this for security reasons. The mentor would not know their way around the code, tools, and practices.

Yes, this could be a problem, but we're thinking to solve it by signing an additional NDA. But I'm not sure that this is a good solution...
