First of all super kudos and thanks to Philip and yourself for the 
massive work on this!!

I am on Manjaro (Arch based so the packages should essentially be the 
same). I think the relevant packages here should be:

extra/gtk2
extra/lilv

(you don't seem to mention LV2 but just in case there's also a extra/lv2 
package).

Up to know I only tested in a very preliminary way:

- building (works)
- Added and tested on a track a DSSI plugin with a few LADSPA plugins

All seemed to work.

I should have a bit of time over the next long weekend to work on some 
pieces which currently do not involve plugins so should be my more 
'typical' workflow and will use this version explicitly disabling LV2 
for the moment and seeing how it goes.

Incidentally I also switched to Pipewire recently so I'm putting that 
into the equation as I'm still understanding some of its intricacies and 
how to best get a workflow out of it :-) - this has nothing to do with 
Rosegarden directly but I guess it's something to keep under the radar 
given most distributions will eventually move (or already have moved) to it
