Well, I think I need to explain what I mean a bit more explicitely: I do realise that all functionality is already accessible through the on-canvas editing, but I think that the widget that I'm proposing has the advantage of showing you the entire gradient in a neutral state (i.e. not in the context of the drawing where the colour can affected by the background or overlaid gradients etc).
That makes sense, but now that purpose is fulfilled by the swatch in the gradient controls bar above the canvas. So my proposal is simple: what if we replace that small static swatch with your larger dynamic widget? I think that will be the best place for it, logically. The only problem is its increased height which will push the entire toolbar.
What if the swatch remained, but clicking the swatch opened a small dialog with the proposed widget? You would still have a dialog, and though it would not be necessary for regular gradient editing, it would be available for more advanced editing.
