Hi,
One tree branch about ~4 in. in diameter over hangs across the fence
casting shade on our gazebo. I few times mentioned to the neighbor to
take care of his tree but no response at all. Now SWMBO says cut it and
toss the branch over into their yard. Is it too rude to do that?

You can legally cut whatever overhangs onto your property as long as you
don't trespass on your neighbor's land to do it. At least in most
jurisdictions. And in most jurisdictions, you would be liable for the cost
of them hiring someone really expensive to haul away the branch that you
threw onto their property. That's not allowed.
