I think Gabi would have taken it poorly, but if Reiner was working with Paradis we would have needed a huuuuuuuuuuge flashback to show how that came to be. A lot of the Marley arc is Reiner coming to grips with what happened on that island and the changes he went through from the kid who left to the man that came back. If he actually sided with Paradis, that arc would need to have happened earlier in time and what's more it would actually have to be resolved, which as far as we know, it still hasn't been. Reiner guilts himself like nobody's business.
