What the current evidence supports

Track; not yet

Why
The architecture is proven at hyperscale with real CTR lifts, but the production recipe depends on Google-scale offline-inference and cost-engineering that a free-tier ecosystem cannot replicate; the transferable piece is Semantic IDs, not the Gemini backbone.
Next
Prototype Semantic-ID generative retrieval on one platform's catalog (wish-now/great-gift) at small scale; benchmark offline Recall@K against the current embedding-table retriever before considering any LLM-backbone investment.
