I coded a field-centric mecanum drive last year, and the kit gyro seemed to work fine. After ~10 minutes of driving there was no noticeable drift. I suppose that you could always purchase a higher-precision gyro, but my opinion is that this is unnecessary.

We did not incorporate the accelerometer, and the code still functioned well. So I would say to not worry about that. As stated above, make sure to zero the gyro as soon as the robot enables.
