I can't even begin to imagine how this works, logistically. E passengers require US customs pre-clearance, but D obviously don't. Can the airport physically isolate those gates to keep the E passengers separate from D? How does that even happen on the fly as needed?

The D & E concourses are on top of each other. If you're flying to the US, you enter US Customs on the main level, then go up an escalator to the E Concourse level after you clear customs. Gates can be accessed from either level after going through the check-in counter. The only space they share is the jetway to the plane, which would never be used by two planes at the same time.
