I feel like any video of a sheep interaction with a person would show that the expression makes sense

That’s not how the -ish modifier works.

'Gingerly' too. Like you're being so careful you turn into a spicy root?

Sheepish does not mean nervous.
It means being shamefaced, usually embarrassed when you did / said something wrong and it comes out. It can also mean meek or docile.
