What exactly are you saying the problem with ceramic is? Could you be more specific?

The risks of teflon are well known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface#Health_conce...
The risks of ceramic coatings less so, but still concerning: https://foodpackagingforum.org/news/nanoparticles-released-b...
Either way, neither is safe for higher heat cooking. At the very least, ceramics will rapidly degrade if used for such.
That being said, you don't need to be using gas. It is possible to get good wok hei on an induction wok, despite what the foodie peanut gallery says. Not on a 120V unit, though. You need to use a commercial multi-kilowatt setup.
