gtkmm team, A Docker image can be built with a specific version of gtk. After that, this image can be used to execute CI job. It will be a pretty quick build. glib folks use this approach to build against multiple distors.
The good thing about this approach is that all needed dependencies explicitely included into the Docker's image. The negative side of this approach is that docker images should be manually built and uploaded. But, scipts can help.
