Osmo Action 6 - Variable Aperture

I've read a few posts about the variable aperture, but they all seems to have been made about 6-7 months ago and I'm wondering if the issues have been addressed in a more current firmware.

We use Osmo Actions on our rally car, we have 2 5 Pro's, and 1 4, we are looking to upgrade the 4 to a 6 and place it on the roof. Since lighting conditions vary a lot on each stage, the variable aperture is very enticing, however I need to know if it will work with the settings I intend to use.

Since we use ND filters, we shoot in manual, 30fps, 1/60 shutter, ISO 100-3200, DLOG 10-bit.

I would like to have the aperture be able to do more of the lifting so I don't need to rely on ISO as much and maybe step the ND64 down to an ND32.

Does variable aperture work while shooting video in manual mode now?
