If I want to recover the wallet later on another computer using my 24 words is this a problem concerning gap limit?
What kind of problem, is the right question. If you configure the gap limit in Settings -> Advanced, you will be fine, transactions will be shown properly, until the address of that limit. But, if your problem is privacy, gap limit is irrelevant.
If you connect to your private Electrum server, make sure that the gap limit you've submitted allows you to query that much information from your server. Otherwise, your Electrum server won't return you anything.
