The only catch is that gnome-bluetooth needs plenty of burden (from my
LXDE user perspective) such as accountsservice, gnome-settings-daemon,
gnome-online-accounts, etc.

It's harder and harder to escape from these monoliths despite not using
vast majority of their functionality while the rest can only be good
to provide new attack vectors.

Well, Blueman will be missed then, I am not seeing myself jumping into
its maintenance.
