In the small subset of situations that need unlogged tables, I would
think the subset of those that need gist is exceedingly small.

Unless someone can come up with a use case that needs both unlogged and
gist, I'd vote not to spend time on it. (And, if ever someone does come
along with a really good use, then time can be put toward it).
