Gustave and Verso do not look at all similar. But I do agree with you that there are strong parallels to their actions - Verso helped build the Dome, Gustave maintains it, Verso and Gustave both sacrificed themselves to save Alicia/Maelle from a mess she got herself in, both of them rather grimly settled into a life of violence and fighting when they wanted to pursue intellectual pursuits. Sciel and Lune are not like anyone in Alicia's family and she wasn't drawn to them. We don't see much of Emma, Gustave's sister, but she seems kind of like Clea in that she's taking a lot on to try to keep everything going.
>and literally everything in that world exists exactly how and when painters want it.
I never bought this, either. I just don't think Verso masterminded every rock formation or river bend in the canvas when he painted it, I believe the painter's magic fills in gaps and makes things believable. There's nothing suggesting that the Lumierens Aline created weren't free to do and think as they please after the creation.
>There are plenty of things to suggest they don't have free will, most obviously how Alicia forces painted Verso to play the piano against his will
This only shows that a painter CAN take away a painter person's free will, not that painted people cannot have free will. By your own logic, she's forcing him to do it, meaning he'd do something else without her intervention.

The game is heavy on symbolism so people end up seeing it where it's not, like when they say all the characters look like one another.
