Mike,

I have a custom APL keyboard input bundle made with Ukelele that I've been 
using with Sequoia and Sonoma. I built this one because I found the Dyalog 
layout doesn't have the complete GNU APL characters and I'd like the line 
drawing characters on my numeric keypad. It's installed like yours in 
~/Library/Keyboard Layouts

I do see the warning message in System Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources for 
my layout.  But the option key works fine to access APL characters when the APL 
layout is active.
I also find that if you open the Keyboard Viewer, the APL character set appears 
when the layout is active.
