It's not the blocking schemes it's the run/pass ratio that the NFL doesn't like for our linemen.
We have been to predictable on passing downs putting the OL in bad situations when a blitz could come or not. Plus down and distance plays a big factor into how long you have to hold your block. In the end it isn't scheme it's not enough opportunities. When we have a lead we just run and run and run. Not even the backups get to operate the entire offense up 41-10 with 8 minutes to go.
In fact I would say Gus' offense is one of the most difficult for OL. As generic as the route tree is the OL for the most part is very diverse and mixed with multiple blocking schemes just never get to throw it 30+ times a game unless we just can't stop the other offense.

Just going with what NFL guys say.
Braden Smith cited the run-heavy attack as being a minus but he also said it was just generally simple.
Which goes back to my point. It’s just a simple position to play in Gus’s offense. The little experience Gus requires during recruitment kinda lays that clear. Two point stances, plays on boards, everything decided from the moment you’re set to the end of the play. Some years we see a little more but it’s basic as it get most snaps.
