Yes, gossip is a terrible way to propagate real-time information about the state of your channel. This is kind of by design since we stagger gossip, but also there are real propagation issues which we'd like to solve a gossip v2, but it will still be very slow. There's another proposal which is to allow you to publish a fee rate card that would have several different levels and the fee would vary depending on the remaining capacity in your channel. So someone just looking for a cheap payment would try the lowest fee rate that you offer and probably fail, but somebody who was really eager to get their payment through would be able to pay the highest.
