You didn't mention gtk-osx, only that you'd put the actual program outside of the bundle. Now-now. Apple supports lots of open-source projects where they see it in their interest: consider llvm, lldb, and webkit: All are basically Apple projects. Catalina won't let you have a bundle that runs a program that's not in the bundle, nor will it allow a bundled program to dyld libraries outside of the bundle and not in the system library directories. (You can dlopen outside libraries from pre-specified locations if you use the plugins entitlement when code signing the bundle, but that's a bit different.) The simplest path forward is to use gtk-mac-bundler.
