The central problem of multiclassing the Archivist is that they are a full caster class, and there is little that is more valuable in Pathfinder 1e than that. Dipping Archivist might be more useful because of a particular quirk or Rune Casting: The lack of Somatic components. If you want to add some magical abilities to a martial character dipping into Archivist can get you that with less complications than Arcane Magic.
Gestalting comes with the same considerations as other full casters: It requires a lot of actions and as such works best with more passive classes. The ability to cast in heavy armor and with both hands full again opens some options that don’t work well with other full casters.
An interesting option is the Runesmith from Interjection Games, a class that uses runes to enhance theirs and other’s equipment.
Pet classes like the Summoner or Vanguard can be flavored to have their pet summoned or created with rune magic.
The broken scribes are a loose group of Scribes who use Aboleth glyphs to draw and shape Ether, a strange power from beyond reality.
