Very doubtful that I do recall it correctly, but isn't it the case that the remote launch does use RSE for transfering and launching the gdbserver on the remote system and debugging is done using CDT GDB-DSF debugger front-end talking to the launched gdbserver? If this is the case, I think it shouldn't be a lot of work to port this kind of launch to use the Target Explorer instead of RSE. There might be some missing controls to select the connection we will have to provide, but corresponding services for transfering a file to a remote system (FileTransferService) and launching a process there (ProcessLauncher) are available.
That's right-RSE is used to launch gdbserver, transfer files and
stream input/output of the application. I will take a closer look at
the services you mentioned, thanks for the hints!

No, of course not. :) If that was the case, I'd go with what's there
already for TCF debugger. Gdbserver will be the backend.

In this case, probably the question would be what is missing for the "Remote Application" launch which does the gdb-dsf remote launch provide?
