You generally don't need to touch gradle at all with flutter. Is your issue about having to install gradle onto your machine, even if you don't use it directly?

Yes, it’s mostly hidden, but it runs Gradle behind the scenes and that’s okay as long as nothing goes wrong.

(I used to work on it, or at least tried to before giving up in frustration.)

Out of interest, what blockers did you encounter using Flutter? For me it was much better than native android in terms of development, but it could depend on the usecase.
