sure but to setup gnome online accounts the official documented way you need gome-control-center, other ways to do seems to not have official documentation and have failed me.
here the required dependency list for control center on arch:
accountsservice bolt colord-gtk4 cups-pk-helper gcr gnome-bluetooth-3.0
gnome-color-manager gnome-desktop-4 gnome-online-accounts
gnome-settings-daemon gnome-shell gsettings-desktop-schemas gsound gtk4
libadwaita libgnomekbd libgtop libgudev libibus libmalcontent libmm-glib
libnma-gtk4 libpwquality smbclient sound-theme-freedesktop udisks2 upower
while it may follow the letter of the philosophy is certainly doesn't feel like it's following the intent of it. the components form a sort of cyclic graph, where technically you can install any component but soon you'll find that you need all the others with no viable alternative component that will work reasonably well.
using these component outside of the DE feel like being a second class citizen that will be kicked out at any update, and then you'll have to scavenge for information from unofficial sources and the source code for what has changed that broke your setup.
