Especially since GCW has nationwide coverage on TBS?
Did Gordon ever mention which promotion he preferred work for?
Was there a working agreement between GCW and CWF to allow Gordon to do play by play for both shows?

Gordon flew from Tampa to Atlanta Friday night or Saturday morning. I never recall Gordon mentioning his appearing on CWF on GCW or vice versa

If that is considered Gordon Solie breaking Kayfabe, then Vince McMahon really broke Kayfabe when WWWF announcer Vince went to Georgia and co-announced a NWA Georgia show on HBO with Gordon in 1976.

Someone working for more then 1 territory at a time was not breaking kayfabe, in fact it happened a lot in the territory days.
Yes, there was a working agreement to exchange talent between all the territories. Solie was actually sent to work Georgia during the Georgia promotional war because he was regarded as the best announcer in the business at that time.
I have never heard it said who Solie liked working for better but if I had my guess it would be Florida.

Is Noah Eagle "breaking kayfabe" by announcing both college football and NFL games in the same season?

Yeah the Florida office sent him to Atlanta to begin with to help out after Ann Gunkel started her own outlaw promotion in opposition to the established NWA affiliated group and the vast majority of their roster went with her, including the announcer Ed Caipral. Eddie Graham was NWA, the Georgia group was NWA. That's what the NWA did . They helped each other (in most cases, anyway) and shared talent

Noah is employed by NBC, Tennis Channel, Brooklyn Nets and Nickelodeon. He is the son of Ian Eagle.

I'm going to admit I was kind of ignorant for asking that question about Gordon breaking Kayfabe.

Gordon would, on occasion, come in as guest commentator in Southeastern for Ron Fuller.
After Gordon's gig on TBS came to an end in early 1985 when Ole threw in the towel on the post Black Saturday Georgia promotion and went to work for Crockettt, he became the voice of the new Continental Championship Wrestling a few months later when Fuller rebranded Southeastern to give it less of a regional feel.
