just some notes, comments which might make the OP a little more
comfortable with Gnus...

I'm not sure I would describe it handling it nicely per se - its
confusing I think and takes a while to get your head around. Also both
draft and queue have the same key sequences since they are "kind of" one
of the same.

I work pretty much the same as you but I dont bother with offline
anymore since the registry doesnt work with multiple gmail accounts
(posted a few times) for me. A shame as I struggled for ages to get this
working. I activate based on topic levels and have the option set to
always queue outgoing email regardless of online or offline.

Drafts I can send from the draft queue with D s which sends it to the
queue. This is correct. And from the queue I can D s from within the
queue or do a J S at the group buffer levels.

Except for Gnus not correctly updating the draft/queue counts it works
very nicely.
