I think you should back up /var/lib/glusterd and then restore it after the reinstall and installation of glusterfs packages. Assuming the node will have the same hostname and ip addresses and you are installing the same version gluster bits, I think it should be fine. I am assuming you are not using ssl for the connections if so you will need to back up the keys for that too.
