GS mini will be active as long as the aircraft is in APP PHASE and MANAGED SPEED. It can be active even on downwind if the winds drastically change. And the minimum Air Speed threshold is set by the Vapp that is in the MCDU irrespective of whether original or altered with some additive by you. Due high gust or turbulence if you decide to have higher Vapp then you'd do so by increasing the Vapp. The GS mini won't do that. It will not disable GS mini whether in CEO or Neo. It's the design, period! While it's one thing to increase Vapp for added protection, it's quite another to increase the winds speed in the MCDU thinking it will be safer. Increasing wind speed will reduce the ∆wind and decrease GS mini protection.
