I'm not sure where this GNC_DOC_DIR originated but as far as I know gnucash 
will look for GNC_DATA_HOME rather than GNC_DOC_DIR.

Other than that your list is still mostly complete on Windows.
On linux systems the contents of the former .gnucash directory has been split 
over two directories to align with the Freedesktop XDG speficiation:
$HOME/.local/share/gnucash
$HOME/.config/gnucash

If you installed a custom gtk3 theme following [1], you may also want to 
backup 
%LOCALAPPDATA%\themes\
%LOCALAPPDATA%\gtk-3.0\
