The GMP international terminal was renovated about 10 years ago and has a few restaurants, both in the concourse and landside. IIRC the "best" one is before security/immigration, upstairs on 4F.

While you are correct about the small but pristine terminal, I have to correct the rest of your assertion.
There are flights to TSA, not TPE ( and it has always been that way).
There are also flights to KIX, PEK, PKX, SHA, and KHH ( although that last one may only be a couple of times a week.
It is not that deserted any more.

The other nice thing is if you want to take a taxi, the distance is so much shorter resulting in much more reasonable fares.
GMP also has the same Sky Hub lounge as ICN that I go to for a quick bite before long flights, and if I recall it has massage chairs 😂.

Gimpo in general has shorter immigration lines since there isn't as much international traffic. I've never seen long lines there and since you're close to the center of the city, transportation will be easy. I'd just take a taxi.

We went thought GMP 2 weeks ago, arrived around 9:20pm from SHA on OZ. Immigration was swift and k.ride pick up was right outside the terminal.

FWIW, GMP is on the AREX airport express line and according to the official website, the last train headed into Seoul departs the Gimpo Airport Station at 12:22am (twenty two minutes after midnight).
