Be aware that GtkGLArea renders to CPU and it's final composition is
done in software using cairo. I don't really have an windows manager
agnostic solution to propose appart from moving to GTK4 as soon as it's
ready. Meanwhile, one could expriment with alpha enabled window and
underlays (locking another windows, or sub-surface in wayland, under
the existing window and using the alpha channel to punch through).

There are replacement Gtk sink elements (gtkglsink and gtksink) for Gtk3 that can be used.  For Gtk4, the equivalent elements would need to written.

One can pass OpenGL textures between elements using GstGLMemory with much more information than was ever possible with the upload meta. Currently libgstgl does include a upload meta implementation however that implementation will only be used if nothing else is found (except for upload from system memory).
