I've got a non-gimballed stove on a sailboat (oven opens forward, so gimbals would be of limited use, and facing forward was the only way to install it without losing a berth). Cooking underway (or even in a poorly sheltered anchorage or marina in a good blow) normally just involves using larger pots/pans than normal for the job in question, and reefing more. If possible, planning courses and meal times so that cooking coincides with lower points of sail also makes things a little easier.
