Thank you for all of your answers and explanations! Yesterday, I managed to compile the flatpak successfully by adding polkit, PolkitQt and KAuth to the manifest. I haven't had the time to test the resulting package, but at the moment I'm confident that it will work, since the GNOME project among other things has a flatpak of gnome-control-center which also uses polkit and obviously needs elevated permissions.

Certainly not for appimage and snap anyway, both offer operation without/limited sandboxing. HS
