You have several options but you can't use plotmath expressions afaik. You can use the unicode encoding, paste it directly as a character, or use the html() helper function and pass the character reference:

gt() %>% 
  cols_label("Estimate" = "\U03B2")

or

gt() %>% 
  cols_label("Estimate" = "β")

or

gt() %>% 
  cols_label("Estimate" = html("β"))
