Can Gosper islands tile the sphere though?

Yes! A Gosper Island in H3 is just the outline of all the descendants of a cell at a some resolution. The H3 cells at that resolution tile the sphere, and the Gosper Islands are just non-overlapping subsets of those cells, which means they tile the sphere.
