GTK is not really cross-platform, and more importantly, is being
developed in directions that make it harder and harder to use in
Emacs.  So Emacs should not throw all the eggs into the GTK basket,
quite the opposite: we should find a way of migrating away of GTK
(assuming we can find a good replacement).
