Have you considered writing a simple source element that captures and
processes the frame directly in a GStreamer pipeline?

Why would this not be possible? Have you tried it and run into problems?

GStreamer does (almost) all of its processing in dedicated threads of
its own ("streaming threads"). You should be able to push buffers into
appsrc from any application thread (they will get queued internally in
appsrc and then processed in the GStreamer streaming thread).
