Zrok: open-source peer to peer sharing with ability to selfhost
There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

Is it possible to make a CI/CD pipeline to build my own packages and create a repo?
Probably a good moment to point out the existence of fpm.

Golang Backend in Production
If you're not using docker, you can as an alternative artifact generate distribution-native packages like RPM or DEB files, which can include startup scripts etc. I used fpm for this in the past, now I mostly use docker images.

A MultiMC Fork is available in flatpak!
I see in your GitHub issues a lot of requests for different platform builds. To kill about a dozen of those birds with one stone check out FPM https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

Why is it so difficult for a software application team to support so many distributions via packaging? Is there no machinery to robotically package any application for any of the given major distributions? Why not?
A few years ago I jumped on the fpm train. You might need to couple it up with some scripts, but it greatly simplifies things.
