What was really meant by stating

As of 5.8, Gnus gained full native MIME comprehension. TM conflicts
with Gnus 5.8 and later.
It is unlikely that gnus itself, without using tm, is able to create
full featured (multipart, with specified encodings and so on) MIME
messages. It looks to me that currently gnus can only create
single-part text/plain messages and create encoded words in message
headers for some fixed set of charsets.
No.
Gnus can create and interpret pretty much any MIME packaging you wish.
It uses an internal system known as "mml" ("MIME markup language", I
believe), providing a reasonable way of introducing additional and
alternative parts, including multiparts.
During composition in a *Messge* buffer, see the Attachments menubar
pulldown, and read the Emacs-MIME info area (*Info* -> Emacs-MIME or,
in very recent alpha Gnus ["Oort"], info://Emacs-MIME/ [that quasi-URL
can be clicked directly in recent Oort Gnus]). Note also the keymap
under `C-c C-m'.
