Is the streaming stability better on newer GoPro models?

Hi folks, I own a GoPro Hero 7 Black that I mostly use for taking video footage from my bike. I love it for race footage or short clips, however I have attempted to use it for live streaming several times and I always end up very frustrated.

The GoPro will stream for a while, even up to 30 minutes or so at a time. However it seems like if I lose connectivity for too long (maybe 10 seconds or so), the stream ends in an unrecoverable fashion. When I say unrecoverable, I mean that the app stops streaming and shows an error message, and a new stream cannot be started up again due to a bug in the app/firmware. The only workaround I know is to fully power down the gopro (by removing the battery), and starting it back up again. Only then can I re-launch the stream.

Does anybody know if this situation has improved on the newer models? As I mentioned this really seems to be a software problem more than anything, and given that the same app is used for all GoPro versions, my assumption is that this still sucks. But maybe not. Has anyone had success streaming from newer GoPro's on a potentially unstable connection?
