I "wasted" an hour with a GoPro salesman on Sat evening (they were sponsoring an event I was taking part in) and he demoed the Hero5 on the karma gimbal. It seemed to do everything it was supposed to do when I walked up and down a field with it but how that would translate to bike use I don't know. It is std fitment on the GP drone so I suppose it must stabilise acceptably but whether it would cope with a potholed road I've no idea. Plus it's quite expensive - but then most of the alternatives are as well.
If you're shooting on "extra wide" I've not had much of a problem with rigidly mounted GoPros - either bolted to the bike or on suction mounts. Gimbal technology looks impressive but for my modest productions I've never really thought one necessary (so far anyway).
