It is possible to import / export CMYK into Gimp using a plugin. see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-CMYK-c...3#pid11743 All editing in Gimp is of course RGB so there is always a colour change on conversion.

Spot colours for pantone is another matter. Probably best to use Scribus see:

There is a video on YouTube how to use Scribus or Krita to convert GIMP RGB to CMYK. I hope that will be useful.
