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.

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