A short test and this seems to work: Using Win7 64 bit (VM) and the Gimp 2.9.8 from gimp.org
Installed Gimp 2.9 to E: (as previous post). Run Gimp to get the gimp profile C:\Users\name\appdata\roaming\GIMP Moved that to E:\ and renamed to profile. Keep it simple to start with, no spaces in file names, no over long file paths.
A batch file (on the desktop) to run Gimp 2.9
That works here, Gimp will use the new profile location, Profile settings are retained, creates and saves/exports an image.

All in one screenshot: Gimp 2.9 started from batch file. https://i.imgur.com/Wz1m5Ey.jpg and you can see in Edit -> Preferences the location for profile folders is set.
I still think, not a great idea, bound to be snags.
