I think the main advantage of using Gearman for this particular task is that it won't attempt multiple simultaneous executions of the worker with the same arguments, thanks to the uniqueness component. I wouldn't want to use a manual worker for anything triggered by viewing content.
A manual worker might be the thing for delivering queued vgifts, though. That's very similar to what birthday-notify and paidstatus are doing, I imagine.
