With the Webway gate, are you allowed to keep soldiers in reserve and not roll for them, or do you have to, even if the gate isn't on the field?

Do the webway rules even hint at that?

No

No, you may not avoid rolling for Reserves.

It says that the player can keep them in reserves, even if the mission doesn't allow it.

The still follow the rules for reserves. Roll for them, and when they become available, you must deploy them. If the WWP is not on the board, you must deploy them the way they were declared (either board edge, outflank, or deep strike).

Meaning if a mission does not have the reserves rules, they you still must keep them in reserve and the will come on as normal as detailed in the arriving from reserves section of the rules.

All 3 of the missions in the BrB allows reserves.

Some custom missions at tournaments do not allow reserves.

you still can keep them in reserve in "custom missions at tournaments" because you are allowed to by the rules for the WWP even though the mission does not normally allow for reserves.

PLacing them in Reserves even if the mission doesnt allow the use of Reserves /= get to ignore the rules for Reserves

The rules for Reserves is what requires you to roll from turn 2 onwards
