For anyone else running into this issue, for now what I did was replace the SimpleGauge component with a RadialBar chart from the KyvisLabs ApexChart Module:  
[KyvisLabs ApexChart Module - Ignition - Inductive Automation Forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/kyvislabs-apexchart-module/55263)

If anyone else has an easy solution without 3rd party modules, let me know 🙂
