That seems very interesting, and I think I'll try to set it
up. offlineimap or mbsync seems to be the right way to:
+ have a fast access to my mail (nnimap from Gnus on a remote server
is a bit slow sometimes)
+ have a complete access from my mobile phone
+ I can still choose whatever MUA I want on top of that if I want to
try something else thant Gnus and still access my old nnml mail.
I have a few questions about some details of your setup:
+ regarding filtering and spam detection, do you rely on the
possibilities offered by you mail provider (Gmail or other)?
+ you said you're running Dovecot. Gnus could also directly access the
local maildir without a local imap server the way mu4e does, couldn't
it ? What's the benefit of running it ?

From looking at my fossilized .gnus.el, I'm using smtpmail, which
would be equivalent to msmtp.
+ I'm gonna need to duplicate this setup on two machines (laptop and
desktop). I guess running offline imap on the two machines and
synchronizing the nnml, nnarchive mail by unison would work.
Thanks a lot for all this information. I've a much clearer idea of all
the possibilities now.
Julien.
