I actually saw one
installation where a guy installed a bank of GFCI receptacles right
beside the main panel as the first device on each 120V circuit to
provide the functionality of GFCI breakers. Looked funky, but probably
saved him a couple hundred dollars.

That won't work for the kitchen or bathrooms ("no other ouitlets")

He could use the receptacle format receptacle-less GFCIs, which are also
much cheaper than GFCI breakers.

That would look extremely icky.

Icky yes, but still could save a fair amount of money. If GFCI breakers
were the ~$10 more than regular breakers that they logically should be,
then it wouldn't be an issue.
