How are they going to plug that gap in firmware, as power removal is the first thing that happens to the camera when the grip is pulled?
Write more regularly to NVRam and not at the end of a recording. I doubt there is much being written and therefore not much of an overhead...

I wouldn't bet on this but someone at DPreview said CSP told them there will be a FW update tomorrow. It is a little surprising that CPS would say this. It is usually a major announcement but we can hope.
It's here. I did some tests and they are posted over at CR but
8k25 with clog, to UHS II, no IS, no AF, rf 35mm, rear screen closed inwards. Indoors somewhere around 23 deg I would guess and outdoors 30 deg, not in the sun, 76 percent humidity.
Summary:
1st Test from power up (off all night) 19mins 56s
Next to air con unit for 15 mins.
2nd Test (indoors) 26m (ran out of storage, and then would not record further)
Cool down with 5" Fan for 15mins
3rd Test Outside on Balcony 18mins 31secs.
Cool down with 5" fan on Balcony. After 20mins it stated 5 mins. After a futher 10 mins still 5 mins.
4th Test Outside on Balcony 12mins 1s
Cool down by itself. After 20 mins it says 4 mins available and it feels midly warm. After a further 10 it tells me 5 mins.
5th Test (final) outside on Balcony 8mins 4s
Conclusions (mine!)
Indoors, with a 5" USB fan and some form of env temp control, then I think the recovery time has decreased a lot. For me, 2hrs down to 20 mins.
Outdoors, same fan, it gave me around 50% more recording time for the same cooldown period.
