If they mandated windows open and only loaded half the cars(so it could air out before the next station) then it would seem to be much better than busses or subways.Hand sanitizer is not sufficient for a gondola car. The major vector for transmission is breathing and talking in enclosed areas, much more than touching stuff.
I think the gondola will be down for a while.

It would be great if social distancing meant they no longer combined groups in a Skyliner car.I think one issue is going to be the difficulty enforcing masks in the cars.

Yes - we know this but are usually the people who book at the first minute possible at 11 month mark. We just bought in Feb and have not stayed but just curious. A bit of a shock with the higher point charts now that the honey-mood of owning DVC has gone away. Regardless, we love having this and planning things constantly. If we want to stay in DS, we will need more points for sure.
I would be willing to bet that this will be the case. I don't see how they could combine groups and still adhere to social distancing guidelines. Even in busy times this will have to happen as long as these guidelines remain in place. This means that the line to get on Skyliner will be longer but it does move quickly so shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I do think it would be difficult to sanitize the gondolas between each guest, I think they would need to send in at least two cast members to clean the gondola if they hope to fully sanitize between riders. I don't know if it will be necessary to sanitize between each group but if they do I think it could be very challenging.
With the new CDC guidelines, the necessity to sanitize objects will likely be greatly reduced. They won’t need to clean gondolas after every use. Likewise any of the rides and other forms of transportation. As others have said, if the vents are left open, it’s almost like being outdoors which has a low/no risk of infection.
