Any progress on this? The incompatibility issue is actually more serious than it may appear to be. It's not simply that the new features VWE Coilgun just added are missing, but that it throws exceptions every tick, plus when drawing the gizmos for a selected pawn. As a result, when you select a pawn equipped with coilguns, no gizmos will show; and the exceptions thrown inside the tick methods could easily add multi-millisecond level latency. In my case, only two pawns with coilguns caused 10 ms drag.
The exceptions in the log look like this:

[VGE] VWE_Gun_GaussRifle1492037 is trying to set an active verb for CompMultiVerbWeapon, but its props has no data for such verb.

This issue should be given a higher priority.

Yes, the old coilgun patch doesn't work, you're describing what happens to coilgun weapons without this pr

Yes, you didn't mention the consequence of the incompatibility, so I thought it may help to add them here, so that the maintainers can know this is more serious than a regular compatibility break.
