Gtk is independent from Gnome (but not vice versa) so that aspect is
not a problem. You may only be able to install the "devel" packages
for either gtk2 or gtk3 and not both. This may not be a problem for
you. If it is, you should be able to just install one or the other
when you need them.
This is from Debian experience but I guess RH based systems should
behave similarly.

I've given up on Gnome, in bulk form, and moved to LXDE. I still run
some Gnome'ish things individually and without problems. For example,
network manager or gpointer-device-settings.
