Wouldn't that be a anti-pattern actually?  Perhaps gemini is not actually meant for such dynamic content at all, beside experimental purpose. Perhaps best to let it go. After all, gemini has no cache control. Why force it?

Let me present you with another anti-pattern, as far as gemini goes:

a gemini page embed a small data: link somewhere, let's call it  'meta', which includes random cache control directives, say, 'refresh=1', just because.

=> data:text;refresh%3D1 meta

When a client sees such construct, it refresh the page after one second.

Wouldn't that be cool?

Yes, I thought so too.
