Post glusterfs-3.8.4-53.el7 for RHEL7
I can't update glusterfs-3.8.4-53.el7 to glusterfs-3.8.4-54.8.el7 without subscribing to the glusterfs channel? I'm not using gluster for my workstations so I feel a little stuck; removing gluster is a little scary with all the dependencies. Not something I want to do. Does this mean I have to purchase a gluster subscription just to knock out some CVE's for the workstations?

Downloading the package individually would help you in that case, but you'd need to take care of dependencies as well. https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/glusterfs/3.8.4-54.el7/x86_64/fd431d51/package
You are right, trying to resolve dependency mess is big trouble without a properly configured yum repository channels. I see that these packages 'glusterfs' and related belongs to the channel "rh-gluster-3-client-for-rhel-7-server-rpms" which also comes along with 'Red Hat Developer Subscription' which is a no-cost subscription which you can avail and use it. Please check this link https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2017/04/07/no-cost-no-hassle-plenty-of-rhel-developer-benefits/
You would need to activate this developer subscription first and then enable the gluster repo channels and then you could do an update for required packages. Be aware of dependencies packages which would also get updated. Check if this is possible for you...
It has been documented saying that it covers 'workstation' as well
The no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Subscription gets you:
