I have never heard of a gynandromorph spider, I am interested in this question too!
I would look up one of the papers cited in the Wikipedia article on the topic:

Suzuki, Yuya; Kuramitsu, Kazumu; Yokoi, Tomoyuki (2019-06-14). "Morphology and sex-specific behavior of a gynandromorphic Myrmarachne formicaria (Araneae: Salticidae) spider". The Science of Nature. 106 (7): 34

You have to get through a little Japanese to read the paper (which is in english), but it's a fascinating read.

I was wondering if anyone's ever had a gynandromorph spider in their collection?

If so, did it live past the male ultimate moult?

You will find quite a lot of gynandromorph theraphosids online :)

I really like this article on P. murinus gynandromorph, it succesfully molted one more time after ultimate molt of male side :)

And here is Theraphosa:
