How aggregious is misgendering items in other languages? I assume it's no big deal and may not even be worth correcting most of the time?

It sounds very weird and you know immediately it's a foreigner speaking. When you are fluent the genders just come naturally, I don't think I've ever seen a native making a mistake like that, maybe children.

I wouldn't correct anyone unless they want to learn though, the noun itself is more important and it carries the meaning across.

This is for Brazilian Portuguese at least.

I can vouch it's the same for Mexican Spanish.
