While as others have said Gnome is an intertwined mess with systemd,
there has been a continuing effort by dantrell to keep it mostly usable
without systemd in Gentoo.

Following the same path might be possible in Devuan, but I see it as a
continual battle as it appears that Gnome swallows more and more of the
"good ideas" of systemd at each turn.   I really can't see much demand
for Gnome in Devuan based on the response here, but I think that is
understandable given that Gnome was the shoehorn that was used to fill
almost everybody's Linux boots with the systemd excrement.
