Could you maybe also try to call out to the host's pkexec (using
flatpak-spawn) if it exists to change settings? You couldn't call any
binary in the bundle that way, but you could execute shell scripts on
the host with elevated privileges.
It's a hack and requires a bit of host cooperation, but might also work...
