Not a viable replacement for custom fields
Gutenberg is great, but I need a way to associate arbitrary key-value pairs with posts. The post-meta-as-block paradigm doesn't make sense for many use cases, and having to pre-commit to a set of meta values with a template is a bit stifling.
This plugin is a more useful alternative: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-fields-gutenberg/
