This seems like a more general problem than Geany, any other GTK app with
multiple tab groups ("notebooks") seem to have the same issue. IIUC it boils
down to GTK not having a `:has()` selector (at least not GTK3, didn't check
GTK4), which would allow writing something like `notebook:has(:focus) tab` or
something similar.
The *geany-tab-style* plugin you link seems to manually implement something
like that for the specific case of tabs, and I think it's too specific to
integrate to Geany itself -- despite your take on it, mine is that it's a
common problem for all GTK apps that don't make sense to fix in Geany only.
A possible thing Geany (or its editing component, Scintilla) could fix is the
ability to style the editor component with CSS to some extent, e.g. adding
margin, border or so. It probably wouldn't be a good "fix", but it could allow
styling a focused editor differently (and I'm talking about the editor itself,
not the tab that contains it).
