In particular, it's not obvious to me how such a rule would cause the file(s) I add to be automatically loaded on startup, without also adding support for some other directory to GDB itself.

Sorry, to clarify, my suggestion is:
- Configure your gdb with --with-system-gdbinit-dir=/etc/gdbinit.d or
something, and
- Add rules to install your new file in that dir, if your platform is
enabled & the system init dir was provided
