They're fine when confined to a part of the field of view, but when it covers your entire view all you get is a blinking mess you can't see anything through.
Coupled with the fact that the lens FOV is way too narrow to have decent situational awareness and that any small movement of the plane will "scroll" your view so much it's not going to be easy.
The Mini flies itself, a little latency isn't noticeable. When YOU have to be in full control manually it's a whole other story.
But...
I had not noticed you had intended to leave the gimbal operational, then you've got absolutely no chance of being able to fly FPV with that. To be able to fly FPV manually you have to see what you're doing as you pitch up/down, roll etc and see the effect on the aircraft in real time.
With the gimbal active it will cancel out all of what the aircraft is doing, you can go from having your plane in a 30° left bank to a 30° right bank and all you'll see all the way is a flat horizon without any idea of the plane's attitude... you'll just crash straight away if you don't disconnect/lock the gimbal.
Anyway I guess it's good if you do your own experimentation, but just know that if you have a terrible experience it's not because that's what FPV is, just that the equipment is woefully inadequate
And have someone fly the plane while you look at the image to figure out the problems.
