Description
Not an easy short term goal, but for coregistered stacks which require no stitching/reprojection, there's no reason why, in theory, we need gdal/rasterio.
Having a code path which avoids GDAL would make dolphin fully pip-installable.

Research direction
Start by tracing processing for coregistered stacks that do not need stitching or reprojection, and identify where GDAL or rasterio is required. Assess how a tifffile-based path could avoid those dependencies; done means dolphin can be installed with pip for that processing case.
