If anyone cares, I finally got around to timing the trip from Kith to EK. I started at the EK bridge, ran to the RV zone line in Kith via High Pass, then back to the same spot on the EK bridge via the Gorge. I had high level SoW for the entire duration, didn't stop for anything other than a 1-2 second stop at the RV zone to note the time, and didn't get lost or suffer similar delays.
The trip via High Pass took 8 mins, 21 seconds. Via the Gorge was 6 mins, 51 secs. So even with SoW, it's quicker to avoid High Pass and the dreaded ramp.
