By default, we only allow published content to be Distributed. In the Classic Editor, when you publish an item, the page refreshes and then the admin menu item is added by Distributor, which then allows us to push that item to other connections.
In Gutenberg, there are no page refreshes, so if you publish an item, the item is published but the page doesn't refresh, so the custom menu item is never added. This means you have to manually refresh the page before you can push that item anywhere. Not a huge deal but also not the most intuitive approach. Not sure the best way around this but would be nice, if possible, to listen for the post publish event and then add the dropdown menu.
I think for the new editor we should probably explore using a side panel instead of the admin bar. Generally we probably need to explore other push UI besides/in addition to the admin bar because it's possible to have it off or not have enough space especially on smaller screens.
