I run a whitelabeled ecommerce app on GAE with hundreds of domains. It is possible. It is a significant PITA.
We get away with it because we have a high-touch onboarding process. There’s no easy way for this to become self-service. Your best bet would be to build a proxy, but make sure you don’t run afoul of Google’s automated fraud defenses; if your proxy gets blocked due to one bad actor, it will take down the experience for everyone. One thing you should be aware of: always verify all domains from a single google *user* account. For some strange reason, verification is tied to a user account and not the project. The custom domains screen will be very confusing if you use multiple accounts.
