I cannot tell much about #1, but if someone defines a test procedure I'm happy to help testing. I'd really like to use an Ubuntu/Debian toolchain in future. However I think the libgradle-android-plugin-java package (Android Gradle plugin) is very outdated. I've opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-platform-tools-base/+bug/1821073 about this.
Feedback on #2 is contained in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ gradle/ +bug/1820389. As far as I can tell the blocker regressions are gone. However there is still the issue of the missing alternative dependency declaration: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ gradle/ +bug/1797761
