I'll also mention the use case you've identified with movk to my colleague from our GCC team, it is a pity that we don't have a R_AARCH64_PREL_G3_NC for the movk as although not ideal, as it is skipping an overflow check, it would permit GNU ld to be extended whilst retaining the property that you don't need to disassemble the binary to know how to evaluate a relocation.

Did you ever get a chance to mention this to the GCC team? I've heard that binutils is still relocating MOVK into an illegal instruction.
