Inform 7 v10.1.0 is now open-source
Very detailed writeup!
I'd like to add that, perhaps surprisingly given how niche a field it is, the interactive fiction community keeps producing new languages and tools. In recent years, two new parser game programming languages have appeared: Dialog by Linus Åkesson (https://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/docs/index.html), a full-featured language inspired by Prolog; and Gruescript by Robin Johnson (https://github.com/robindouglasjohnson/gruescript), simpler but focused on creating web games, playable without writing, with a verb+object model like parser games.

Is there a way to package an interpreter with a story?
Here's the github repo, it was just open sourced last week. You can compile it from source now, and I imagine the UI frontends will be updated in a couple of weeks. IIRC, compiling directly to other languages is now possible, although I'm not sure how much that impacts your use case.
