It sounds like the sort of out-of-band install solutions you're talking about could be dealt with easily using static binaries. I do that for a little project of mine (using musl-gcc), and it works well.

For many (most?) libraries yes. E.g. though if you do that with Qt it is hard to get your application to look similar to other applications on the desktop (and it is quite big too).
