As you found Gimp does not support cyan-magenta-yellow-black (cmyk) colour
space.

Gimp is a red-green-blue (RGB) bitmap editor. Apart from that, support for PS
.psd files is very limited.

As a suggestion, open the image in the free application Krita see: www.krita.org

That also has limited support for PS layers, depends on the .psd image

Krita can convert the color-space to RGB and if required to 8 bit. Export as a
tiff and open the tiff in Gimp as layers.

The only real solution is pay for Photoshop.
