Yes, I was too concise. The bomb 'slow' does not say how slow, just gives you 1/G as a hint. You land a the nearest available and better have fuel for that. But also can go slower, which is better and the same concept why the gear is down. 2+G and F speed is nice for structural considerations but the burnoff might be incompatible with distance to diversion field.

For the preciously discussed case, ​​​​​​if you needed to divert after MisApch with gravity gear, what conf and speed to choose - that was my thought (at the absence of hints). Easy answer to that, clean but gear out.

The examples you give sound logical after thinking about them a bit. BTW did you had the chance to check the dispatch for gear down performance data and compare them to FlySmart with failure?
