I think you're confusing two issues; there have been incompatibilities with GMail IMAP and the built-in client (still present, AFAIK) and Claws (fixed, I've heard). I've heard of no incompatibilities with Modest, but it does have an issue, which is not specific to GMail; you can set it to retrieve headers of the last 50 messages, but you can't set it to discard older headers, so they accumulate.

I'm using Modest with GMail, and 3741 messages in my inbox.
