I had a similar problem when using the DB2 chart node, in that the chart line width/style could not be changed, and which therefore did not display higher density data very well.  
I worked around that by using the chart.js library in a ui-template node, where I could control the line width to whatever I wanted.

Maybe you could do something similar with a gauge node?

I've [since moved to UIbuilder and use justgage](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/justgage-in-uibuilder/97919), where [all options](https://github.com/toorshia/justgage?tab=readme-ov-file#options) are exposed, and can be tweaked;
