My oppinion is that gassifiers are under used, they are no longer understood as well as they once were, it was not uncommon to see these around the 40's during the war and it does work. As Frank alluded to they work better for household use.
But it is much like using an antique style steam engine to run a truck, most of your cargo capacity in the back would be needed to run the gassifier.
That isn't to say that if someone were to put a little modern tech behind a gassifier that they couldn't be shrunk just like the micro boiler steam engines.
