Does the C API allow programs to temporarily stall bringing up or down the interface, or does it only deliver signals of if state? Out of curiosity, where does your aversion to hooks come from? Does it add significant complication code wise, or is it more with respect to using networkd before any filesystems are mounted (thus the hook files would not be present)?
