It's not recommended anymore by the GTK+ developers. Frames created
that way won't fit into the GtkApplication framework.

They haven't mentioned Emacs specifically, though it won't immediately
affect Emacs, as we use GTK 3 instead of GTK 4.

It's still an imitation of the built-in GTK menu bar widget. You can
still notice subtle differences between how it behaves and how the
built-in widget does.

Yes.
