its definitely not automated with the gopro because solo or the app can't see the gopro sd card. it is automated with the sony. it has a full featured dev kit and previews and full res images can be transferred from the camera pragmatically. but yes if you have to transfer images to your computer, tag and upload them, then you are back to the traditional method.
recap360 does 3d well so does pix4d. if you use a high quality camera then features like trees or light poles are recreated precisely. with a gopro, the 3d won't be as precise unless you change the lens. you could remove barrel distortion before processing, but an aftermarket lens would be the best setup.
you can try recap360 for 30 days to see you how you like. i gave it a try and was pleased with the quality and speed and i like the interface.
