I decided to host the latest version directly on my site, without the Apple store.

Many non-App Store macOS apps are signed and do not display malware warnings. Please sign the version on your website, regardless of whether it's available on the App Store.

It's not a typical macOS app, it's an extension that is closely coupled with the browser and it's a trick, there is no way to sign the version. Safari rejects manually signed extension.

There is an open topic on the Apple developer forum from 2020, but there is still no way to do it: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/667859

If Apple provides the way to do it, it'll be signed

Then please note on the website and in a README in the disk image how and why a user must manually approve the app along with the risks.
