They don't want to use Github for the code review and prefer to use Gerrit? Good for them, I don't either and actually prefer GitLab or BitBucket for git in general. But hey! thanks for the Gerrit introduction.
But gitflow?
I've been using the gitflow way of working for ~5 years (although not always the gitflow extension) and I don't see anything there that clashes with that way of working. You want to work on a feature, perfect: Branch from develop and work away.
After you are done and before you merge with develop again, you push your feature to Gerrit and do the code review/changes. And then merge back to develop.
Really, I don't see the issue between Gerrit and gitflow and still think that gitflow is a very sane way of working in a team, specially if you have people that are not used to work with [distributed] version control systems and you probably wouldn't believe how many developers are out there like that.
