Oops, I totally forgot to add this to the mail:

I ran an strace -e file on pdflatex with a minimal document and found it to use:

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/gentium-tug/t1gentium.fd
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/gentium-tug/ec-gentiumplus-regular.tfm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/gentium-tug/ec-gentiumplus-italic.tfm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/gentium-tug/gentium-ec.enc
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/gentium-tug/GentiumPlus-I.pfb
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/gentium-tug/GentiumPlus-R.pfb

So I guess it doesn’t use the .ttf files, but if the Type1 fonts are
sufficiently identical to the TTF ones, this should work.

(This is a bullseye system; for actually using this, I should upgrade
at least the gentium-tug part, I guess, even if I probably will otherwise
stick with the older release because tabu.)

No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD.
