Check Sciter/Go : https://github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter
It is used precisely that way: backend - Go, UI - Sciter.
In Rust GUI ecosystem overview"be fat like GTK or suffer from underwhelming API", not necessarily.
Sciter( https://sciter.com )/Go (https://github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter) has pretty compact API and is of 5mb of size. Yet full set of basic input widgets including WYSIWYG editor and print/print-preview. Yet H/W accelerated graphics with support of Acrylic and Vibrant theming: https://sciter.com/blog/page/2/

It's non-free but you can "Use Sciter in binary form as it is published on the site" so cgo with bindings and the downloaded binary.

Somewhere on the way further you will come up with the bright idea that look and feel of those UI bricks in the tree needs to be customizable. So you will try to invent style definition system/language. And CSS will be born again.
As a result, at N-th mile, you will end up with something close to Sciter/Go : https://github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter that already works not only on X11 but on Windows and
