Even if a team decides to implement this, they still have to reorient to face the goal and shoot, for which they need to determine their distance and angle to the goal. If their vision is capable of this, it negates the need for a gyro in the first place.

Drift only matters when you're double integrating for position. Using the accelerometer to determine which way is down will be very accurate.
