It may depend on your desktop environment or display manager/window manager, but in general, there is little control by the users on window size and placement, even less so under Wayland. Your best shot is to see whether your application supports an option to launch it with a minimized window.

All apps has that options, but 2 of 3 apps dont respect it so thats why just asking might be flatpak issue tho
@ytrium is true, flatpak spawns the application but the compositor does the display part.
Apps can’t manipulate where they are (even though that feature might be added, there is a loong Wayland protocols thread on that.
In KDE I achieved this with “Kwin Windows rules” and it works great. I autostart EasyEffects and have the window rules to not show it in the panel, the app switcher and have the window minimized. So the window is basically not there (not sure if it still needs those resources)
You open the settings, add a window rule and use the “get window properties” tool to select a window. You select the properties you want (app name is mostly enough).
Then you add additional properties, in this case “minimized”
