I'm wondering if it it's really appropriate for non-scope auto-completion. If I hack sidebar.c, why would sidebar.h symbols be more relevant than gtk_* symbols?

Both are equally relevant but the question is when the autocompletion starts returning useful results. For GTK it will be only after you type a sufficiently long prefix like gtk_something_ when the symbol you want starts appearing. You definitely won't get anything useful when you just type g. On the other hand, if you want something from sidebar.h that starts with g, just typing the single g might already give you what you want. But when this is mixed with all the symbols from GTK, this symbol from sidebar.h gets lost in all the other GTK symbols and you won't get useful results after typing the g. In short:

This doesn't improve (but also doesn't worsen) anything when you want a GTK symbol
But improves autocompletion when you want a symbol from your own sources
