It seems like static files can only be served from the same domain as the app.
I could create a new app for hosting static files but I’m a little nervous that that would a violation of the terms of service.

You don’t need to serve your static content from a different app, you just need to use a different hostname. App Engine makes it pretty easy to have many different hostnames that point to the same app.
With wildcard subdomains you don’t even have to create a DNS entry. If your app lives at
myapp.appspot.com, you can also reach it through any subdomain, likestatic.myapp.appspot.com. If you’re using your own domain, you’ll need to configure it manually.
