Ive never made my own roux... and my gumbo is good enough for me.... My mom always made her own and her gumbo was great.... but ive tasted some a few times in the last couple years where the person thought they could make their own roux... and it made the gumbo taste a lil off. Now precut onions like the guidrys mix doesn not count as making it from scratch. I have used it before bc i was in a hurry and it gives your gumbo a different flavor... not a fan.
