There are definitely areas / groups I would not try to use it as a gender neutral term, because it really isn't.
There are areas / groups where it's a bit odd to use it for a mixed gender group but not a big deal and no one will mention it.
Y'all, everyone, and just leaving out group descriptors (ex, Hi! I have a question) are always neutral and often a better choice.
