In addition to the files already listed I sync .newsrc.eld, but that is updated infrequently. Not strictly gnus entries, but related closely enough, I also sync .authinfo and .msmtprc (as I use msmtp) and also .bbdb. I also have a humongously long startup-gnus.el which is called from .emacs and with which I tinker more often than I should.
