I have a Viking gas cooktop, and when I need a less amount of heat (like
when I'm slow cooking rice), I just grab one of the unused cooking grates
and stack on the target burner under the pot.

Quick, cheap & works for me.

Alas, the grates on my gas stove are in a single piece, so no can do
this technique.
But thanks anyway for the idea!
