So I've been working on a setup myself. I actually haven't considered immich but I should. I was just going to do a simple js based webpage local server that auto boots chromium into kiosk mode and randomly switches pictures. I actually had it set up so it weights new photos more heavily so it shows new additions more frequently.
The way I got new photos in was a nextcloud webdav mount. That way my wife and I can just add photos to a folder from our phones and they show up on the frame. I saw a guide online on how to do that with Google Drive too.
So all that to say, that might be an option for you to get photos to a folder. Then maybe point immich to that folder as a source.
