Both appstream-util and appstreamcli are considered conformant. Ultimately, the only way we can stop relying on appstream-glib is if appstream-builder[1] was reimplemented on top of libappstream-compose. Long ago, I tried to see if we could have our AppStream data produced as repodata instead of a package, but the answer I got was that we need the functionality added to createrepo to do it[2]. If someone ever got around to making that happen, a lot of things in our pipeline could be simplified.
