Well, I think you're going to have to narrow it down to which headers are
actually causing it, if that's actually the case.

Almost all ESPs add a list-unsub header. We know that alone doesn't cause
Gmail blocking.
I also add X-Auto-Response-Suppress and auto-submitted headers to some
automated reporting output that gets sent a few hundred times a day and I
know that those aren't getting blocked by Gmail.
So there's the first few to remove from your testing protocol.
