Unless it can defeat an entire squadron of SPECTRE helicopters it's a waste of space.
When it's tasked with protecting Beijing and is part of the best trained and equipped unit in China every inevitability is considered.
And as for the missions of the gyro units:
"geographic information, air service information, battlefield monitoring and digital transmission, enhancing the units command and control capability and ability to conduct accurate air defense."
As for why gyro-copters over unmanned drones/helicopters/aircraft, probably an if all else fails or a quick cheap alternative during peace time.

Screen captures of a promo video from China Electronics Corporation (CEC) that appears to show a battlefield AI system (as applied to an urban environment). According to the captions, the AI system is capable of mapping the battlefield, designating special buildings (schools, hospitals), and automatically identify threats among civilians, track their movements, and ID their weapons for elimination.

This is precisely the type of technology I imagine they would use for a Taiwan scenario.Screen captures of a promo video from China Electronics Corporation (CEC) that appears to show a battlefield AI system (as applied to an urban environment).

Civilian mapping, on the ground intelligence, etc. could utilize computer modelling and processing to identify possible ambush positions.
Real time surveillance on hot spots and additional computer analysis such as the above could provide targeting info for precision strikes with shorter range guided weapons such as mortars or even smart grenades.
