There appears to be a oculus gearvr related issue in 4.17 involving 3D widget performance / rendering.
It would be great if someone from oculus could take a look because this issue does not occur on daydream and renders 4.17 useless: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/664617/gearvr-3d-widget-performance-degregation-in-417-pr.html

How did the test go with real app ? (debug and shipping builds)

While it does make the game playable it is far from ideal. It obviously only works if there's nothing on the widget you wish to update more often than a second and there is still small a random hitch every few seconds or so. So this "workaround" will only be bearable for certain projects.

Unrelated to the topic but why it took so long to reply:
To make matters worse it's getting very difficult for me to test as I currently constantly get this with my device:

"Check mobile device is properly inserted into Gear VR"

It had been getting worse and worse with my device and now it takes about 5-10 attempts before anything gearvr starts up - it seems all the constant taking phone in and out of the headset has warped the connector of the phone :(

Seems a common problem:

This issue is also not fixed in Unreal 4.18 preview.
