I don't really think Severin would've meshed well with John Buscema, who needed a softer, lusher brush, which was so splendidly provided by inkers like George Klein and Tom Palmer.You're perfectly right in saying Severin's inking was 'gritty', which basically precluded it from slick science fiction or superheroics, but it also made him so great at more realistic genres like War, Westerns, Horror and even Sword & Sorcery. I loved his work on Kull and I wish he and Marie had done a hundred issues together.
His b&w work at Warren was also first rate and I have been urging for an artist-centric Warren volume from Dark Horse devoted to him for ages.
Sadly, I doubt it will happen.Severin and Wood were so great on 'Creeps' in Creepy #78.image

I do agree about Buscema with the inks Palmer and Klein. I was just thinking of his early Avengers work as being his rawest at Marvel and that Severin might have made it rawer. Not better or worse , just different. I agree 100% that John and Marie together were magical. And Woods inks on Severin are a vision of comic book virtuosity! Wood inks on almost anyone's work was incredible.
