gVisor is... less secure than VMs; but the front page price-compares against VMs, so not apples-to-apples

That's fair, capabilities wise we have to limit certain things on what gvisor based sandboxes can do in terms of things like networking, and other capabilities to compensate for this class if sandbox. However over 80% of the use cases I'm seeing simply doesn't need much beyond that.

Do you have evidence for that? I’m personally more concerned about QEMU based escapes.
