This may have already been asked but does anyone make a camera dome I can leave on my Mini 3 Pro when flying?

Tried before with the original Mavic pro, you could fit it and the camera/gimbal could still move through it's full range. A really good idea for protecting the camera in-flight but it turned out to be useless because it was cheap acrylic and not optical grind quality like the domes fitted to underwater cameras and higher quality ROV's - you got a lot of distortion and flare.
Camera 'domes' since have been solely to pinion the gimbal and protect the camera body from knocks and detritus.
If anyone were to fabricate one: it would be hellishly expensive.

None that I know of

Couldn't that damage the gimbal or cause an overload?

The point of it would be that the gimbal could still function normally but with a plastic shield.

Correct.
