I mostly agree with everything you said, though I would point out that the problems with the Gabba are about more than it just "looking a little old". It has serious accessibility issues for both the crowd and the competitors, and it needs to be rebuilt or substantially renovated regardless of the Olympics.
It just…doesn't need to be renovated to be an athletics stadium and then re-fitted for cricket and AFL. And it definitely doesn't need a warm-up track next to it.
