Sure heated gloves are nicer but go from heated grips to no heat and they're no longer over rated.
Honestly didn't have any heating on my bike for hands, body or feet for budgets reasons and I can tell you it was more than painful a lot of the time. Plain old layers don't cut it and I had to go through stretches of numbness in my hands just to overcome the cold.
Just thinking about it makes me think I'm a fucking nutter.
Haha, I've road over the mountains in 0° degrees once with a previous bike with no heat. I had 3 layers of gloves and it was like you said, fucking misery. No more of that for me, I'm a fair weather wimp now.
