I don't understand this question. Gnome is a desktop environment, Mate
is an alternative desktop environment. They both use GTK as a GUI
toolkit library. If it at all helps, I had not noticed any difference in
Mate from when it was using GTK2 to when it was using GTK3 (Just as I
had noticed no difference in Emacs when it started using GTK3 instead of
GTK2).

I doubt it at all matters. The desktop environment (DE) doesn't at all
care about what the individual programs are using as their GUI toolkitg
(it doesn't even know). For example, I don't run Gnome, Mate or any
other GTK based DE or window manager and I will still be vulnerable to
the GTK3 issues (although apparently I've been lucky and they have never
occurred for me).
