Theres also a lot of scenes of Jesse happily working with Gus and Mike before that,

Mike =/= Gus though, and Mike's presence is part of what would make shooting at Gus suicide. Mike also prevents Jesse from having a chance of poisoning Gus' coffee. IIRC Jesse doesn't get that much close contact with Gus besides that cartel meeting, Gus and Mike talking at the diner, and the meeting at Gus' house.

Jesse remains extremely skeptical of Gus up through this point, at dinner with him he blows up accusing Gus of everything he presumes he's plotting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM6pNUfT6fo
The idea Jessse is in bed with Gus and skipping all chances to poison him is Walt's delusion.

I also think it's unfair to act like Jesse is in a total life debt to Walt at that point, after all Jesse had last reciprocated by killing Gale to protect Walt, which was a huge step for Jesse especially after Walt promised he'd take care of Gale himself and just needed the address.
