I like the modifications on his suit, and while I'm certain DC has zero intention of changing John's suit any time soon, I would love for them to give it a upgrade one of these days; something to mark some kind of character growth, ideally. And if they did update his suit, I don't think gloves should be a part of his ensemble any more than a mask should be. these are character choices, considering how big an issue DC has with allowing John to feel like an actual character, I don't feel comfortable eliminating the few character driven design choices he has. What makes things like Johns' take on Green Lantern great is when you consolidate the existing elements of the mythology to push it forward. When approaching John's character, from his personality to his character design, you should take a holistic approach to him so he can feel more real and fleshed out. I think the moment we throw gloves back on him, might as well slap a mask on him too and start from scratch while we're at it.
