Thanks for doing this.

I assume the old gdb,can_reverse and gdb,use_precord target settings no
longer make sense.

I would recommend putting each of these snippets into a function in
lib/gdb.exp.  That way it is simpler to update them in the future.

This seems like a good idea.

Otherwise this looks fine to me.
