So, with the change in how we've noted licensing, from boiler plates
in every file and a top-level LICENSE file to having SPDX tags in
every file, we haven't changed the terms (modulo a few cases of
correcting GPLv2+ files to GPLv2) of the project.  We have however
made it clearer where future problems may lie.  We are still GPLv2+,
however all of the kernel code we have that is GPLv2 would make a
future license change harder.

In sum, yes, we're GPLv2+ and Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt is fine to point at
since it says "or later" in it.
