First, which of the problems you mentioned are related to Emacs not
being a GTK application?
And second, there's a branch in our repository where Emacs _is_ made
to be a GTK application, AFAIU.

No complexity at all, it's almost trivial, because the display code
already does that. As for "satisfactorily" part: what can be
unsatisfactory about displaying the widget on the next screen line?

These are marginal cases: you are talking about very large widgets
that in addition refuse to be resized. How many are like that? And
what else can we do with widgets that are (1) large, (2) won't resize,
and (3) cannot be clipped?
The perfect should not be the enemy of the good, right?

We don't display it. How is this different from a any other large
display element that cannot be shown in the viewport?
