I know it's fashionable to use flatpak, Docker, etc. but I'd still rather not have 30 instances of Gtk running for every GUI app I decide to run. Consider that we still run on Raspberry Pi, etc.

Not any more than the apps themselves. If you're downloading a static binary you don't know what's in it. I don't know why anyone trusts half the Docker images that we all download and use. But we do it anyway.
