Flatpak is designed to be a way to install applications ("leaf" packages).
It is not designed to be a way to install core OS components like Xorg.

If you are short of RAM and you are willing to install precompiled
binaries rather than compiling everything yourself, I suggest either using
a distribution where packages are normally installed as binaries that
were compiled from source on a suitably big machine elsewhere (Debian,
Fedora, etc.), or seeing whether it is possible to install precompiled
binary packages as a substitute for building from source for certain
"heavier" components of your Gentoo system, in particular LLVM.
