Some webmaster willing to host a Gemini server could also setup an nginx serving static markdown files with no cookies/js/... and the privacy conscious client could use lynx to browse it.

So I disagree with your earlier statement even if we exclude javascript. No, I can't tell you without clicking if a gemini URL requires a graphical browser to render properly. Without even being cheeky or pedantic.
