There are Christians capable of answering your question about those who died never having heard about Jesus.

Here's one (the gist is that they'll be resurrected, given a crash course in the Gospel, and then they can make their choice).

(Certainly Winterside is dodging. You could make your same point by citing someone in North America for over a millennium, and he'd have no YI vessels to talk about.)

I have heard that theory, and it seems like a strange way to go about it, surely an omnipotent god would seed his ideas among the various peoples of the earth in ways that made sense to them throughout time, as opposed to once in an obscure town and then find a way to shoehorn everyone in at some point in the future.

The Yi vessel thing is interesting, but also seems pretty spurious on cursory investigation.

It makes a whole lot more sense to provide grace for the ignorant than it would to inspire them to believe the wrong thing.

They literally say in the Bible that Jesus is a propitiatory sacrifice meaning it does indeed cover everyone across all times who wants to be covered and ho aren't specifically excluded.

This doesn't mean that they get to stay ignorant, only that they are given the opportunity to become smart in contrast to the wicked.
