Works great, and minimal pressure loss when removing the gauge, with a swift movement just a slight hiss of air. I've double checked the pressure and saw no loss. I run latex tubes on the road bike and tubeless on the gravel bike, so I'm pumping and setting pressure on every ride no matter which bike I'm on.
Couldn't you just 'calibrate' your floor pumps to your digital gauge every so often if you don't trust them to hold consistency?
