Occasional multi-minute internal delays still are possible at GMail. Had one 
myself a couple weeks back with no obvious cause.

Yeah, not so much.  Unless by 'past' you mean 'no apparent cases in 2022 yet.' 
It's absolutely not as bad as it was a few years back, but it was still 
happening in 2021.

They seem to have reduced that problem at the expense of the dreaded S3150 
rejections that point a
finger at client IPs that have never handled any spam, aren't a problem 
according to SNDS, and have no discernible oddities. I have made architecture 
changes and disappointed customers (aggregating a mess of low-volume sending 
domains through one IP egress instead of spending IPs to satisfy customer 
vanity in rDNS) to work around MS rejection chaos.
