Dealing with foodborne pathogens is not an exact science. If it smells off toss it all out immediately.
I'm with MD here.
Unless it smells off, "Have a great big bowl and continue eating your gumbo as long as you like. Let us know if you get the screaming shits."
Best of luck and let us know what you decide and how it turns out.

I'd still eat it.

I wouldn't risk it, but that's me.

9 hours? Like another poster said, we'll cook something for lunch sometimes and leave on the stove covered until dinner 6 hours later.

How many I got drunk and passed out and left the food out threads are there gonna be.
Okay folks here’s the standard. If it’s in the 42-140 range for more than 4 hours is a bacteria’s breeding ground.
Proceed at your own risk

OP should have divided the total volume of the gumbo into long, wide, and shallow containers to increase surface area or placed the pot is a sink full of ice with water (ice bath) and stirred it periodically to cool it quicker.
For the record I would eat it. My digestive and immune systems can handle it!
Just bring the portion you wish to eat to a boil first.

Or he could have done like I did with 3 gallons of seafood gumbo, which was put it out on the deck in 35 degree temp with the top off and give it a good stir every 20 minutes to release heat. 100 minutes later good to go in the fridge. Although I would have tried his gumbo I definitely believe the safe storage time in his fridge would be greatly shortened by the front end exposure time it was left sitting on the stove.

TLDR: gumbo finished at 10pm, into a semi broken fridge at 7am next day, checked at 3pm , fridge says temp is 42deg and pot is room temp. Safe to eat?
Just the leaving out overnight could have gone either way, but then sat in a broken fridge for 8 hours and is room temp? No way I'd eat it.
Chicken and sausage gumbo is a relatively low cost meal, so I'd just grab some more chicken and sausage and make another pot if you want it that badly. There's a thread currently saying jarred roux is indistinguishable from homemade, so you can even cut your cook time down.
