As of 076a186 in keyd the meta key can now safely be used as both the overlay key and a layer activation key.

so gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key '' should no longer necessary.

Wow, I had no idea there was a no-config solution to this. Kudos!

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the idea. Apparently autohotkey has had this feature for a while. Implementing it was a bit tricky because of the way the code was originally written and it makes keyd a lot more noisy, but so far the sky doesn't seem to have fallen :P.
