Gboard has been steadily increasing its features and support with each update, and the latest beta continues that trend by introducing word prediction and spelling correction for handwriting input, as well as a layout for handwriting in Tibetan.
Support for handwriting has been rapidly expanding to additional languages, with more than 200 supported last year. With the Tibetan language now added, it seems there are no plans to slow down that support.
