"resolvectl query _gateway" will tell you that the gateway's set to X
ip address, but only if you have "myhostname" in "nsswitch.conf".

You can only check whether the gateway's up with "ping".

If you mean that you want to check whether the NIC's up and you don't
want to trust nmcli's "GENERAL.STATE" property, you can check
"/sys/class/net/ens3/carrier" and/or "/sys/class/net/ens3/operstate".
