I guess it depends on your intent. If my intent is to do a descending turn,
then it will produce less G force than if I intended to maintain altitude,
bank angles being the same.

Downward movement at a constant speed is a steady state, and won't
affect G forces. Acceleration downward is different, and it will
decrease the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity, which will
affect net G forces.

But the other explanation that says that the reduced Gs are a result of
downward acceleration makes sense. Once the descent rate stabilizes, the G
force will be the same as a level, or non-descending turn.

Yes.
