As mentioned in the answer above,the issue with small periodic vibrations and feedback loops was addressed over two decades ago. As for drift and very low frequency vibrations - ALL forms of IS and IBIS have optical penalties, so it's always a question about the tradeoff between which is least destructive: the uncompensated movement or the "cure" in the form either of IBIS or IS or both. | |

I'm more worried about the frequency response: the IS system may not be that good in compensating low frequencies (slow movements), say <1 Hz, which may easily happen in windy conditions. Also, systems that are optimised for shorter time spans may 'drift' over longer time. Perhaps there is a reason why other manufacturer(s) call it Vibration Reduction... | |

The limits of the maximum amount of movement the system can make in any particular direction are usually exceeded by the person holding the camera. With tripods, the movements tend to be periodic and alternate in one direction and then the other. If those cyclical movements never reach the edge of the system's limits in any particular direction, it will still be usable for much longer exposures than when movements go too far in the same direction before changing direction. | |
