Don't quote me on this, but I think the extreme distortion that you are referring to, which occurs when you for example clamp your camera on a bike handlebar is caused by the auto-focus mechanism not being powerful enough to fight the vibration and keep the lens in the correct distant from the sensor, shaking back and fort in such high rate of speed that you get an extremely distorted and foggy image.
If that is the case, I don't think an electronic image stabilization (EIS) method like RockSteady would help that much!
But I think there are some other technologies that could help in the situations like that, which involves physically moving the sensor, or the lens in order to compensate for the vibrations, which theoretically could be implemented in a potential successor of OsmoPocket, but if you need an action camera that could give you gimbal like flexibility, 360° action cameras like Insta360 One R, could be a good compromise, and I say a compromise because obviously you're not going to get the same level of quality that OsmoPocket can produce but It can keep the horizon level and follow your targets like a gimbal camera with the added bonus of EIS which I think they call it FlowState or something to that effect Instead of the DJI's RockSteady or GoPro's HyperSmooth, it's also water and shock resistant making it more suitable for extreme situations...
Also, there is another gimbal camera, similar to the Osmo Pocket, called "Feiyu Pocket" by Feiyu-Tech, which offers "6 axis Hybrid stabilization" which translates to exactly your idea (gimbal + EIS), but based on the sample footage that Feiyu Pocket owners shared on YouTube, I can say the stabilization is really bad! Ofcource they might have fixed it by now in recent firmware updates, but unfortunately the initial footage that I saw was just awful!
