“Guys” hasn’t actually been accepted as gender neutral for a number of years, due to its implicit anti-feminist bias (you’ll fit in if you act like us men).

I struggle with not using it constantly, as it was the go-to gender neutral term for my generation.

"Folks" is a good replacement choice. Works in all the same contexts.
