Answer

not recommended due to excessive creosote buildup

Edit - Water, not wood type, has the greatest impact on creosote production. If the Gum is properly seasoned (dried to approximately 20% moisture) it will not produce more creosote than any other seasoned wood. And Gum has more energy per volume than some Maples and Ashes.

On the other hand, burning any green or wet wood significantly risks excessive creosote buildup, regardless of the wood type.
