One could be Hideout wars which are fought under the system that we have now. Although I really like your idea of adding stat bonuses that could be purchased with gang points. It goes well with the next part of my idea.
Gang presidents could also be given the option of declaring Respect wars, which would be fought under the old system. Every gang is given with 100 respect points to start out with that will be gained or lost in respect wars as time goes on. However, unlike the old system, when a gang drops to 0 respect points they aren't deleted, instead they lose a membership slot (but no gang can go below 3 membership slots) and then they go back to 100 points again. And you could allow gangs the option of buying back that lost slot at either a reduced price or with gang points.

I think losing a slot is just as bad as losing a gang. Continuing to lose slots will add up the same as starting a gang over. I.E. I lose my 6th slot, purchase it again, lose it again, purchase it again, do that for 5 or 6 times will cost more than buying a new gang and then getting it up to 6 slots again. Now if gangs could decide what type of gang they were going to have whether respect or hideout that may do something for it. However, IMO losing slots for members is a crappy idea. I think we would continue to lose players or they turn into minor active players instead of very active like they may have been at one time.
