So, is it acceptable to take out end grain with a bowl gouge?

Mainly for roughing out the middle, but wondering as most times I see spindle gouges being used. Mine don't seem to work that we'll and I want to go a bit deeper than the Hope hollowing tool will go.

Thoughts on using the 3/8" bowl gouge to rough it out?

I agree with Woody on this one. I made up a set of carbide tipped tool using the Easywood tips and they are superb on end grain.
