Can you link to where these New FrSky Hall Effect Gimbals are (can be found) ?

Edit: Then these are not the ones you were referring too.

You are not down to 6.6 bits more like 9.3 bits.

We use some over sampling with averaging to turn the 10 bits into 11 bits already.
I just tried moving a stick on a Taranis (12 bits analog), and I'm struggling to get the output to change by less than 0.3%.
I wouldn't be surprised to find a resolution of 680 steps on a stick is actually OK.
When I put a 'scope on the PPM output of my Hitec Eclipse 7, I found the pulse width changed in steps of 2.5uS. Since full movement of the stick in one direction only changed the pulse width by 400uS, this was only 320 steps across the full range of stick movement.
