In the World of Warcraft MMORPG, some Gargoyles were called the Stoneborn. So, if a name change is needed for the gargoyles, here's a name that they could be called and still stick with @Shades of Eternity 's ideas for the species. https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Stoneborn

It is quite possible to have a setting where these Gargoyles exist, and the canonical version doesn't exist. The OP is following the trope, "Our Gargoyles Are Different." ;)

@Shades of Eternity is having a moment of Bardic Inspiration. :)

One problem with creating an ecology for a particular monster is how often you would have to update it every time a 3pp or WoTC introduced a new monster in their latest 5e supplement. :p

Somehow, I can see a wizard polymorphing themselves into a gargoyle in order to learn what tastes like what here. :p If treasure is like candy to a gargoyle, what does a magic item taste like?

If your Gargoyles were introduced into the Forgotten Realms setting, how would they be viewed by the PHB species and how would they view the PHB species in turn? :)

If WoTC intends to bring back the Dark Sun setting for 5e, I hope they mention how the Halflings of the Blue Age used the magic of the Pristine Tower and the Dark Lens to become the humanoid species of Athas' Green Age.

Hehe. I wonder if a Gargoyle would see treasure as food. :p Think of all the coins dropped into a fountain that's near a Gargoyle's home. "Thanks for the free food and drink!"

Ditto with Tremorsense.

In Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, a person could be transformed into a Half-Dragon if they drank the blood of a dragon, were doused (or nearly drowned) in the blood of dragon or were exposed to the draconic energies found within a dragon's hoard. I would add in the consumption of Dragonfruit...

Since they do, can we change their type to Dragon? ;)

In the Midgard setting from Kobold Press, the Dragonkin are the result of Half-Dragon Humans breeding amongst themselves. Kobolds in this setting bred true from Half-Dragon Gnomes, Half-Dragon Goblins and Half-Dragon Halflings. Neither one is as powerful as a Half-Dragon.

What about a Dragonborn with a ridiculously long, serpent-like tail? The fella here isn't a Dragonborn, it's a Ryujin. One half of a dimorphic species. The other half is the koi-like Nishikin. All Ryujin arise from the Nishikin after experiencing a profound epiphany or tragedy in their lives...

An origin shrouded in mystery is more appealing than an origin that has been conclusively proven.

Dragonborn Barbarian (Path of the Kaiju*) *A Barbarian subclass from Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms.

It's only a matter of time before we get to have the Dragonborn from Kara-Tur and Al-Qadim. ;)

The community wanted these old settings to be brought into 5e for their own personal reasons.

Like Kara-Tur, Al-Qadim, and Maztica. Each of those lands is bound to have unique races populating them.

Settings are ships of Thesus. Every time a new edition comes out, the original setting is changed in some fashion. So, what is old is now new again. At least in the eyes of the newest generation of D&D fans to role-play in that setting.

If they were to drink anything, it would have to be mineral water. ;) Preferably the water that runs and pools down the sides of their buildings after and during a rainstorm.
