No, gdbserver cannot be used to download executables to the target.
I also think it would be difficult to make it work. While there are
embedded systems that have a remote protocol agent (typically a
monitor that speaks the remote protocol), in these systems the
download works by GDB simply writing memory, setting the PC, and
running.
