Could the two projects be combined into one codebase that is not
platform dependent, allows backward compatibility (when running on x86)
and potentially also allows Atari platform tools to work?

I think a starting point for you is probably to have a chat with John.
He has done a lot of the work to modernize GEM.  His site is here:
