DJI X5R (4K RAW) + Osmo + Inspire 1... anybody else with the same idea?

Not exactly a Blackmagic RAW style workflow, that's for sure.

Turning a blind eye to the "But its not 4K" elephant in the room for a moment  , I'm wondering whether a roll your own solution with a used BMMCC might be an option?

There have been a ton of cheap compact gimbals released in the past couple of years that can handle the weight of it and once you have it balanced you can just leave it permanently on to achieve that same level of immediacy of getting it out of the bag.

The expansion port has a composite out on it that you can use with FPV transmitters but also with a £15 EasyCap interface to monitor on an android phone.

The expansion port also allows pretty straightforward ways to do remote control and focus as well.

As I say, its obviously not 4K but if you want the same philosophy as the Osmo without the proprietary stuff then its not a bad alternative and a bit cheaper.

I think the Ronin S as used in this video is a bit overkill and would make it more expensive but still, its a nice illustration of the possibilities.
