Believe it can go both ways. The Sleeper promotes a very passive and easy playlist. If you struggle to kill people in regular crucible you shouldn't be able to have an easy time in Gambit either. The one shot body does indeed lessen the skill gap, I believe if they could tweak this in Gambit it would be beneficial. Sleeper with a catalyst is even more of a problem. The need to adapt shouldn't be required, it's a pvp mode which should have multiple selections rather than just one. I believe if they reduce aim assist greatly people will have much more of a struggle, especially terrible pvp players. Since Gambit players tend to be pve players who are usually not the strongest at pvp(At least in my experience), the change should effect them greatly.

While I agree that Sleeper needs some tuning on the pvp end of things in D2, I take umbridge with your final statement. Not only is your claim unsupportable by any data, it's an outright insult. Please revise.
