@nish I'm looking for a more automated approach, so that when the high-level wrapper goes out of scope/gets deleted, it automatically unrefs/frees the gobject CPointer. Objects could potentially be long-lived as well (assigned to properties, for example), and could outlive a simple scoped block.

What about something like this.myThing = wrappedLibrary.objectA.objectB.objectC.objectD.theThing when accessing a foreign object system from Kotlin, e.g. GObject, COM, Python, ...?
You would want all the intermediate wrapped objects (objectA, objectB, ...) destroyed as soon as possible (perhaps scoped to the block) but theThing to be left alive.
