You really don't like your best option

Canvas element? Sounds like HTML. Text, images, vector graphics, openGL? Your browser/webview does that, plus you get webGL.

The sooner you come to grips with the fact, the better. For a solo dev, nothing is going to be easier than using a web-based UI. And unless you have a ton of free time to maintain your project, the motivation to do so, and the skills required to juggle the complexities of aging monolithic dependencies, nothing else is possible.
