Now you've got me wondering - what is the difference between buoyancy and low gravity (with respect to organism development/evolution)? Would there be any meaningful differences structurally?

I would think yes. In a submarine, the vessel is buoyant, yet the contents are subject to regular gravity. I think the same reasoning applies to a body and its organs and fluids. Contrast with space where everything floats.
