What manual?
Good for gmail. These days, people really should get their own domain and host there email there. If you do not know how to do this, there are plenty of cheap hosting companies you can use. And if you want to encrypt, use gnupg or that thing Thunderbird now uses. I am a mutt user and gnupg with mutt is rather easy.

This is purely marketing AFAIT. I don't see how it provides any protection against the 5 eyes or having one's google account breached. The encryption/decription is done with javascript code served to your browser by google (= can be hijacked/changed/…) The only way to do client side encryption is PGP on a native client distributed by a third party.
It isn't supposed to protect you from government agencies. Really what this feature is, is 1) e2e of email, and 2) integration with an external enterprise key management service.
#2 means that at very least, your org will have access to your keys and therefore all encrypted mail, and if they have access to that, then they are open to things like subpoenas from law enforcement.

it looks like it could be like s/mime, or possibly a scheme for encrypting the contents of messages stored in gmail accounts. where are the keys stored? what is the threat model?
can anyone enlighten?

What if you want email you send to make it to the inbox of gmail, 365 users?

Deliverability is only an issue when self hosting (particularly for home IPs)

It seems to be a giant pain in the ass, and might be impossible in some circumstances

At Google, generally available means it's no longer in testing. It's a development lifecycle term.
