The /mild/ complexity arises from URI escaping rules. If anything, IRI 
simplify things a bit for all concerned.

Consider the following URIs (as per the current spec, which all MUST 
support one way or another):

=> gemini://rabbit.hole/bunny%20%26%20carrot.gmi Bunny & Carrot: Down The 
Rabbit Hole, a journey.
=> gemini://rabbit.hole/%F0%9F%90%B0%20%26%20%F0%9F%A5%95.gmi ? & ?: Down 
The Rabbit Hole, a journey.
=> gemini://xn--yn8h.hole/%F0%9F%90%B0%20%26%20%F0%9F%A5%95.gmi ? & ?: 
Down The Rabbit Hole, a journey.

vs. IRIs:

=> gemini://rabbit.hole/bunny%20%26%20carrot.gmi Bunny & Carrot: Down The 
Rabbit Hole, a journey.
=> gemini://rabbit.hole/?%20%26%20?.gmi ? & ?: Down The Rabbit Hole, a journey.
=> gemini://?.hole/?%20%26%20?.gmi ? & ?: Down The Rabbit Hole, a journey.
