Thanks Ell,

I tried the grid brush technique. While it works for making explicit 
individual stamps, it does not work for holding the button down and 
continuously painting. That makes it not an option for my needs: as I'd 
have to click thousands of times, since I can't use the scatter settings 
to have the brush do the work for me. Only adding transparency to the 
pencil would fix the issue. :(

I found Paint.NET after some additional searching, and there are tons of 
plugins for it on GitHub.  One of them is called Brush Factory and 
claims to do RGB brush stamping technique.  I'll have to try it out and 
see if it will do a hard stamp without sub pixel sampling.  But still 
the plugin interface looks fairly clunky compared to just being able to 
do it right in GIMP.

How difficult would it be to modify the pencil tool to support transparency?
