If water was mixing with the gear oil, should I be able to see it at the reservoir mounted to the side of the engine? Would it look frothy, as you'd expect when water and oil mix?
As AD has said above. Even less likely if the tank has the usual issue when it’s blocked by crud in the bottom and of no use anyway. Often the case unless it’s drained and cleaned out too. Always amazed at the number of boats that never have the full system drained down. Just the drive.
Is it worth having at all? This is the first boat I've owned and/or seen with it. If it is of no real use, then maybe having hoses and reservoirs that could leak are worth removing?

Yes, in all cases if there is a leak then the reservoir amount will lower. Check when cool
The bottle has a one way valve in it which allows air in but not out. So when drive heats up it keeps the drive totally full and under pressure due to the heat build up. The pressure will help keep water out
