I really think CSS gap is going to cover most of these needs. Adding decorative nodes to the DOM doesn’t seem like a good solution.

Why? You could add the same constraints to the sizer: min, max, flex shrink/grow, put a line or any other shape in it. It wouldn’t even take a separate “display” mode, just make :row-start, :row-end and :row-wrap pseudoclasses to control collapsibility of regular divs at the sides of a container (or whatever styling you need, anything). Instead they feed us yet another crippled special case with these gaps.
