RMFIII is my main use case.
If it's graphics that you seek, RMF has been modernized to export to
Prometheus/Grafana.
Not supporting GDDM is a case of self-fulfilling prophecy. Quality of 3270
terminal emulators has been going down since CM/2, with lots of products having
funny and off color schemes, no or wrong terminal status symbols, terribly
mixed-up key definitions, the wrong codepages as a default or make the terrible
decision of blitting pixels over the network instead of tn3270 protocol.
I like Tom's Vista3270, but it is Windows only.
It works just fine on my Linux machine using Wine once I installed the
fonts.
Who actually wants to use Windows for work?
Oh no, a smug Mac user!
I don't have a choice any more. My employer used to offer the choice of
Windows or Mac but have since settled on Windows only citing support
issues. Since Windows launched WSL and IDEs such as Intellij and VS Code
integrate seemlessly I would pick Windows over a Mac with homebrew any
day of the week. I've got a Macbook Air and the killer features such as
high resolution retina display and long battery life don't justify the
cost when I hook my machine up to a external monitor and run it plugged in.
I don't miss it, and consider it technical debt ;-)

Who actually uses GDDM? I use Tom's Vista and I couldn't care less that it
doesn't support GDDM. Rocket Terminal Emulator Web edition can serve thousands
of 3270 sessions on a single Node.js server instance. Rocket know how to
implement GDDM but didn't bother with BlueZone Web as it wasn't deemed
necessary and having to support it was considered future technical debt.
