I do not think so.

Definitely, I expect the same kinds of problems. But having seen both

That is true. But I feel about GNOME as you feel about KDE, and am not overly
motivated to do more work on it, so it would be good if some volunteer
GNOME users stepped forward to take over.

Would it be okay to push the current moderately usable brasero package
so as not to lose the work?
