Does anyone know if having a Gewerbe would be just as difficult to transition to a C-Corp?

The whole process of registering a UG or GmbH is ... not so straightforward while registering a Gewerbe (especially if using the Kleingewerberegelung) sounds like a good starting point. Not sure if you can raise money that way though.

If you simply register a "Gewerbe" you are personally liable for any damages the business incurs.

Yes, but are there many risks for a digital startup? (Serious question, i can't really think of any)

I'd say that highly depends on what your product actually is :)
