If they gate-check it all the way to the final connection, should I be concerned about it getting lost since I presume the baggage tag will be handwritten instead of being printed?

Thanks
If you gate check your bag in your case, you would collect it at the baggage claim of your final destination. The tag would be printed by the computer not handwritten.
