Ncat and Netcat (check the existence of '-c' and '-T') can fetch stuff
from Gemini servers:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ printf 'gemini://geminiprotocol.net/\r\n' \
| ncat --ssl geminiprotocol.net 1965 | less
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ printf 'gemini://geminiprotocol.net/\r\n' \
| nc -c -T noverify geminiprotocol.net 1965 | less
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wrapping that in some hands full of AWK to find links and iterate over
them should not require deep magic.

Some browsers capable of accessing gemini: can save the fetched files'
and gemini pages' source, maybe they would even be easier to integrate
in own scripts?

TL;DR: There is no showstopper.
