If you're using a gateway, you have to trust the gateway.

You could probably have a pretty light wrapper around the gateway which verifies the hash.

It wouldn't be as easy as simply using a gateway but still much easier than hosting/implementing an IPFS node locally

Well, to use the node locally you just run a binary, it's not like there's much to it.

No, but getting at content can sometimes take a while if it's not very actively seeded, e.g. I've had to wait hours for images to load on IPFS.

Yes, definitely. Discovery with IPFS is abysmal.
