Was the gravel a good thing?

In the longer term no. Dirt, detritus, compost will collect in it (can't
be swept up) and stuff will be growing in it by the end of the first
season I imagine anyway.

Could be turned to benefit ;-)
IME things which I have great difficulty in germinating elsewhere come
up in abandon in gravel or cracks in paving slabs.
