Emails forwarded from my VPS to Gmail being rejected, "very low reputation"

My main domain is 25+ years old and has a great reputation, never used for spam or anything like that. I've been having the emails forwarded through WHM / cPanel to my Gmail.

7 days ago I moved my main site to a new VPS, and copied over the forwarders. But today I discovered that I'm missing the wide majority of my emails! I found them in WHM > View Relayers, about 241 out of 250 were rejected by my Gmail with this error:

TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=yes : SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 550-5.7.1 [<new VPS IP> 19] Gmail has detected that this message is likely\n 550-5.7.1 suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending domain. To\n 550-5.7.1 best protect our users from spam, the message has been blocked. For\n 550-5.7.1 more information, go to\n 550 5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/188131 af79cd13be357-93917765ba8si962882385a.175 - gsmtp 

I double checked in Postmaster Tools, and the domain's reputation is stellar. So when it says "low reputation of the sending domain", I have to assume it means the IP of the new VPS. MXToolbox confirms that the IP isn't on any blacklists, although the parent ASN is on the UCEPROTECT-Level3 list (which covers thousands of domains so it's not MY domain, but I can pay an extortion fee to get mine whitelisted).

Any suggestions?
