I can't imagine I would ever actually use this type of support, but knowing it is there increases the odds that I would apply for a job at Gitlab. It makes me admire the company's culture more than probably any other benefit I have seen offered in my time in tech.

I agree, it shows the company cares about its employees.

  Written “cultures” are quite different from how the company actually acts.

    This is an operational policy document - they’re making specific guarantees to their employees about how they will support them. That’s a lot stronger than claiming to uphold some set of values because it means that they’re willing to risk losing the trust of their employees if they don’t stick to this.
