Do I need a camera gimbal if my camera has in-body stabilization (IBIS)?

Reviewer consensus

IBIS handles micro-shake, but reviewers across videography communities agree it doesn't replicate the smooth walking, tracking, and low-angle moves a 3-axis gimbal produces. For static or near-static shots IBIS may be enough; for cinematic motion, a gimbal still adds value.
