Sounds like you've got it!

I like it a lot for email (and mailing lists via gmane.org, and RSS/Atom
feeds via feedbase.org¹) - but I am biased by having been using it for
email for decades by now.
The "news reader" way feels very natural to me for email as well - when
the whole "Inbox zero"-thing made its entrance, my immediate reaction
was: "Huh, that's sort of how I've always done email with Gnus" :-)

I think that is a good way to go, yes.
I tried writing a small tutorial on using Gnus for email once, but never
quite finished it, it maybe of use to you:

You're welcome.
