It is not technically possible to do with GTK, per Carlos's comments above.

We seem to have reached a consensus that we need to remove support for GTK themes in order to fix this bug, because the GTK developers are not interested in changing GTK to make this solvable. Fixing this bug is more important than keeping GTK theme support, and GTK developers don't want us using GTK theme on the web anyway. A large number of other dark mode bugs will disappear as soon as we remove the GTK support.

But that requires writing a cross-platform theme to replace the GTK theme. Safari might be doing this soon too, to get away from macOS platform theme, so we will wait and see what happens there.
