But then you're standing on gel which allows your foot to move inside the boot, which can lead to a ton of fit problems, including shin bang.

This.

But, what if you put it under the liner - still allowing for shock absorption but not letting your foot move around - similar to Full Tilts Active Boot Board?

I still think it's a bit too soft.  Proper cushioning takes into consideration your body weight plus the other forces you apply to it (i.e. the force of knuckling a landing at 30-40-50 mph).  You would smush it and it would lose it's cushioning characteristics.  That's why most any (good) shock absorbing boot board is denser than a gel insert.
