People, please don't assume that it is all about your operation, or your type etc. It is not.
For example, in business aviation its not about the structure of the airplane, but instead it is about keeping your job. Many owners are very nervous flyers and fire people for bumps.
Edit:

If you combine the two together, the net effect of airspeed will be linear - i.e. twice the speed, twice the g'load for the same gust.

the additional lift due to the updraft decreases even more dramatically approaching stall speed.
Please more of that.
