I wonder if this is "simply" an issue of doing XGetImage() to do
compositing on the client.

You could set up an X traffic analyzer to see what's being sent on the
wire:

Actually, your particular setup would benefit a lot from that kind of
analysis.  There may certainly be parts of GNOME which need to be made
friendlier to X servers without the new/cool extensions.
