I think you're reversing cart and horse.

The reason why I think it's a gezeira is because the AhS already says that
we are worried about cloth-walled Sukkos even if they're well tied down.
In other words, the chumerah you're afraid of is already there, which to
me implied it must be a gezeira.

So, rather than being reluctant to label this rule a gezeira because people
might take it too stingently, I am seeing that rabbanim took it stringently,
and figured they must have considered it a gezeira.

Tir'u baTov!
