I don't really see it that way. To me, Gus was a user and equally or more deranged than Walt. With Jesse's history of relapse and motivation problems, I don't think he would have lasted long in Gus's world. Plus, his loyalty to Walt was wearing thin with Gus. Gus cut one of his loyal employee's neck with a box cutter just to make a point, I don't think he would have thought twice about disposing of Jesse once he had everything under control. Not to mention that a sensitive guy like Jesse would have never have bought in completely to Gus's savage world, as indicated by his disposition after seeing Gus torment Hector. He was already wondering what he was doing there.
Mike might have taken a liking to Jesse, but he was still a yes man to Gus and relied on Gus for his "nest egg".
