The captions on WP gallery images are very hard and sometimes impossible to read in their current state. I don't think they need huge adjustments to fix this, here is what I am thinking:
solid background instead of gradient,
50% opacity
text size 0.875rem to match the size of regular captions.
Still hoping for lightbox feature at some point too to improve image viewing (but the caption styling change above is more pressing in the short term for site readability).
