Dec 18, 2017 at 5:13 comment added user21820 Indeed there is typically a gap, and this post gives the full generalization of the first incompleteness theorem, where basically all you need is that the formal system has a proof verifier program and can prove every true $Σ_1$-sentence (under some computable translation). To get the second incompleteness theorem, you could require it to uniformly interpret PA as defined here, so that you can get Lob's theorem (internally).
