I want to get into booster production, but I have no idea what kind of ship to use to harvest gas clouds.
It would need 5 slots to fit gas harvesters, a probe launcher for scanning, and probably a cloaking device.

Any idea ?

I would do it in either a myrm or a hurricane. Plenty of lows for cargo expanders, can fit the turrets and cloak. Then do your probing in a cov ops.

Gas mining is boring though, and you're at least in low sec so you have to keep your eyes on local at all times.

It may depend. The venture is a mean little gas harvester. But I have only used them in wormholes. They only have one rat spawn to contend with.

I think the booster ladar sites may have waves of rats that spawn. I dunno if the venture could tank them. But I have never tried them so you'd have to check that out.
