I've been looking around, one problem seems to be that since BABL
has no introspection, any functions relying on BABL parameters
(even just babl formats, which are ordinary C strings with
a fancy typedef) are not exported.

 

Daniel Sabo fixed this a good while back, by writing simple wrappers with introspectable type signatures:
https://github.com/GNOME/gegl/blob/master/gegl/gegl-introspection-support.h

There are tests here that shows how it gets used https://github.com/GNOME/gegl/tree/master/tests/python

Adding introspection to Babl proved impossible without changing the API, due to the strict conventions that GI requires.
