I noticed that when weigthpainting a Gradient with the Gradient-tool it sometimes not works and/or works differently then expected - when i switch back to weight-paint-Brush and edit certain settings like weight-value and Falloff-Settings then the Gradient behaves as expected - while doing the same in gradient-tool has no effect. Leading me to think that the Weightpaint-Brushsettings are relevant for the Gradient settings (i expect them to have separate settings).
They seem connected but in the Gradient-tool-settings i dont have control over weight-value - i have to switch back to brushsettings.
Falloff-settings for the Gradient-tool are essential - this should imo reflect in the Gradient-tool-settings also as the brush-falloff-settings govern the weight-paint-gradient as it stands now. sorry to bother :/

Please have a look at the discussion here #74025 (Gradient weight tool confusing (using previous tool brush))
(in short: you are right about the previous brush governing the behavior of the Gradient tool)

regarding the weight value: there is even a bug reg. Unified Weight / Unified Strength and that is exactly what #74025 is about.
regarding the Falloff and others: this is the weak design of how the Gradient Tool works atm. (this is rooted at it being available in all other tools via {key Alt click} previous to being its "own" tool).

Since these are so tightly related, I will merge these reports, lets continue discussion there, please leave a note about the falloff in the other report, thx!
