Yes, Gboard does log what you type, unless it's in incognito mode, which you can see by the incognito watermark in the background of the keyboard (to test this, open up an incognito mode tab in your favourite browser).
You can quieten it's need for communication by using a per-app firewall like Netguard (use the Github- or F-Droid version, since the Google Play Store version cannot filter the network traffic for ads, but only allows filtering on a per-app basis).
If you want to have a really clean keyboard that physically cannot log anything, checkout this: https://github.com/Dakkaron/Fairberry
That seems like a lot of opt-out to turn off what amounts to a keylogger.
Is that on Fdroid?
