Now, if all gliders had AoA gauges, you could jump from one glider to

glider you happen to be in.

Wouldn't I have to worry about what the right approach AoA was
instead?

The stalling angle of attack for a given class of airfoils is very
nearly the same for each. In any case, the indicator could be marked
appropriately, or in some way provide you with that information just as
our present ASi's have green arcs, white arcs, yellow radials, red
radials, and AS bugs, etc. Marc's comment concerning LED's is another
alternative.
