pacman-repo-builder
paru - AUR helper that will be getting the ability to include custom PKGBUILD repositories in 2.0, whenever that releases (currently 1.11.2).
If I may suggest a completely different approach, Nix is a cross-platform package manager that does reproducible builds from declarative configurations. It takes time to learn it. If you decide to use it, your packages won't use any Arch libs, instead, all of their dependencies will be stored in /nix. The official package repo is called nixpkgs, and as long as you pin it to a version, your builds won't ever change or break. Nix can even install multiple versions of the same dependency, so you can update a single package's dependencies without breaking the others.
For my own repo I'm using also https://github.com/Martchus/arch-repo-manager to detect breakages in general but of course then it is actually already too late.
Heavy bundling increases the package size a lot indeed (see e.g. https://github.com/Martchus/passwordmanager/releases/tag/v4.1.10 for the size of a rather simple Qt application).
