I don't see how you could do both without altering the dynamics.

I could see have a LUFS normalize script with a MAX TRUE PEAK reading with some kind of limiter appleid to prevent true peaks over a certain value.

But if you wanted to make the LUFS be -14 and the true peak exactly -3dB for example, there is no way to have both without some kind of dynamics processing involved.

I guess for my scripts I don't care about the true peak because I run this at the start of my mastering sessions to get all the songs on the same page before I start mastering.

I would personally just use the existing script and then get the Tokyo Dawn Records Limiter 6 GE plugin to control the true-peak levels.
