That’s not the same as “all gnostic texts were made up,” but it does show that apocryphal writings were being fabricated and passed around as apostolic. But the mere fact that the entire church was able to come together and say "Hold up, none of what they're saying lines up with what Jesus or the apostles taught " does lead to condemnation for gnosticism if we want to attribute its apocrypha as works of non-fiction
because it is well written down in John 21:25:
>25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
If anyone would be informed to the true knowledge of God, it would be those 12 who spent their entire livelihoods with the God incarnate as Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Then the 2nd and 3rd gen Christians, still following the apostolic lines through their students and ordained leaders approved for teaching others; comes the Muratorian Fragment (circulating 170 AD) discovered in 1790 AD in some library, had already excluded some gospels/letters as fictional that is to say “heretical.” including those works from the famous Valentinius sect that made the current Gnosticism popular on /x/ (Sophia, hylics, sygzy, demiurge, etc.)
