The only obstacle to the Arthur and Guinevere was Uther. He was the only noble that ever voiced opposition to it, mainly because Gwen had no dowry and, land and might, or at least the appearance of them, were very important to Uther. No one else opposed, or even mentioned it. Not one person.

Granted, their courtship was kept mostly secret during Uther's life, but once Uther died, their relationship was more in the open. Neither the knights, nor any other member of the court ever voiced opposition, or concern over it. They see Gwen as a friend, and are mostly happy for the pairing. Would have been addressed by someone else, other than Agravaine, it would be a point of discussion, but it's mostly dealt with as a personal choice for Arthur.

Agravaine had Morgana's agenda to push, because he was too stupid to come up with one of his own. As for Morgana, she was jealous of Gwen because she was a servant, but she also wanted Arthur off the throne out of spite and the foolish belief that it was her birth right.
