When the other mogwai pop out of Gizmo, they are already mischievous, and when they turn they become even more evil. It seems to imply that mogwai are already bad, and the transformation makes them worse. But Gizmo is extraordinarily kind. So if Gizmo was turned would he be evil, or would he still be kind?

I think the movie shows that Gizmo is innocent, but his water spawn are not. IMO this points to the unnaturally reproduced mogwai as lacking that impulse control (or soul). The gremlins are not precisely more evil, but they're faster and stronger which enables their acts to be more lethal.
Yeah, Gizmo must be the major outlier for mogwais.
