GeditDocument have signals for that: "load", "loading" and "loaded".
But it is currently not possible to know if the file is a binary file.
Note that this API will probably be deprecated or removed soon, to have
a better API in GtkSourceView.

What about files that were already loaded, and are stopped on an error-prompt in one of the tabs?

windows = self.app.get_windows()

for window in windows:

    for document in window.get_documents():

        location = document.get_location()

        if location is None:

            # This is an untitled file (not loaded from disk).

            continue

        tab = window.get_tab_from_location(location)

        state = tab.get_state()

        if state != state.STATE_NORMAL:

            continue

        # If here, this is a fully-loaded document, successfully.
