AFAIK its all ATO now, so why are there still 3 min service gaps (at least
on the Bank branch) with trains chugging along at what can't be much more
than 20mph? Is there a capacity limit with camden town junction or are there
simply not enough trains for a victoria line 1 min gap service?

Part of the cause of this is that Bank itself is so busy that you
simply can't dispatch a train every minute.

Is Bank any worse than say Victoria or KX on the victoria line? Its certainly
busy but its not exceptionally so IMO.

Yes, massively so. Have you ever been there during the evening peak?

Frequently. I used to use the DLR when I worked at canary wharf last year.

Did you visit the northern line platforms? Obviously, seeing the
DLR platforms won't help you understand problems on the northern
line (equally obviously, your journey was likely to include lines
other than the DLR, unless you live on Cheapside).

Have you ever been to victoria in the rush hour? Its scary.

Yes. They get very crowded, but I've seen just as bad if not worse elsewhere.
