At the end of the day, we use language to communicate ideas to other people. So imo you should just use another word, because if a majority of people think that "guys" is not gender neutral, even though you think it is, the best thing for others to understand you better is still to use what others would consider a gender-neutral word.
Don't focus too much on language itself, put your focus on letting others understand you. If people are bothered by a word, just use another one, unless that word is actually necessary for what you want to communicate.
