Isn't that email also used for any admin specific actions? Like password reset urls?

No, it's a dedicated email you can set up for any channel, it's usually something like "channelname-somerandomcharacters@example.slack.com". On the GMail side you'd just set it up to only forward things that have the subject line you want like "Rejected" etc.

Ah, ok. That's the part I missed.

I would still be a bit worried about the security of it all if this were a big company though, but it's maybe doable for smaller ones?

Many companies block forwarding rules.

Probably less than companies allowing employees to generate API keys for Slack, Play Store and App store.
