If water could no have its surface tension broken (surface tension becomes infinity), wouldn't all non-reactive production of gaseous water cease to occur?

whoops, i now see i misread your use of "gaseous water". What you mean is water vapor or steam ... well, this would not escape liquid water

i felt that it answered your question : gases becoming non-soluble in water means they cannot diffuse to go in water
