Would this make it easier to ping multiple gateways

yes.
You need to set your policy routing accordingly to have a different
gateway for the same destination and then use the -m to select the
routing table..

so if one goes
down, it is taken almost out of the routing table until it comes back
up.

I am not sure i followed or see any relation to the first part of your
question.
Ive never heard of routing table entries automagically being taken down
until something comes up. You could do it probably by writting a user
space daemon.
