I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
> But then I've got some scripts that maintain a copy of that collection, except converted to MP3 at a variable bitrate
Yes. I have / had been doing this for years, and just want to sing high praises of mp3fs[1], assuming some kind of Linux or macOS machine. It solves this problem in a way that I think more people should know about!

Intrigued by how you listen to your hoards
One thing I tried (that unfortunately didn't work) was to combine a file syncing app (NextCloud/Syncthing/Resilio) with mp3fs. If it worked, I would have been able to simply drop a new FLAC onto my server and have a transcoded mp3 automagically propagate to my phone when it connects to wifi. Unfortunately I ran into a lot of issues with mp3fs crashing.

Looking for a FUSE FS for generated files
You could probably use mp3fs (homepage, github) as a model for what you're trying to do.

A shameless plug, but you may also like Quod Libet[1]. Although not for everyone, it has very advanced searching and the more unusual integrations and features all implemented as plugins.

i used this really nice music player and library manager called Quod Libet which is written in python. now, that app isn't exactly the one with fast development cycle (latest release was on march 2021), and python3.10 release was nearing

Which music players exist which are currently still developed/maintained and have a GUI?
Quod Libet works well in my limited experience. I don't use it for extensive things besides playing music, making playlists, and such. It fits your qualifications by the standards I just mentioned, has a GUI, and last contribution on their github seems to be 9 days ago for the docs, and 15 days ago for code related materials.
