Sorry if I completely misunderstood the problem, but won't the following work?

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';

use IO::Compress::Gzip 'gzip';
use IO::Uncompress::Gunzip qw/ gunzip $GunzipError /;

my $s = <<'END';
I include only the bare bones because I tried something like 20 differ
+ent things without success and I'm embarrassed. :( Non-streaming requ
+ests are working perfectly with approximately this code. The endpoint
+ for this code is a 
END

gzip( \$s, \my $c );
my @chunks = unpack '(a42)*', $c x 5;

my $partial = '';
my $result  = '';
my $n = 1;

for ( @chunks ) {
    gunzip( \( $partial . $_ ), \my $o, Transparent => 0, TrailingData
+ => my $t );
    $partial .= $_ and next if $GunzipError;
    $partial  = $t ? $t : '';
    
    print "message #", $n ++, "\n$o";
}
