WordPress 5.0 was released on 6th December 2018. The latest version of oik-fields does co-exist peacefully with WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg 4.8. There are some instances where updates to post meta fields, performed server side, are not reflected in the Block editor display. You need to reload the editor to see the changes.

As part of the fix for bobbingwide/oik#120 I prototyped a change to the bw_metadata() function that supports the [bw_fields] shortcode. It calls oik_is_shortcode_expansion_necessary() to determine if oik thinks it's worth expanding shortcodes.

It's not caused any problems that I'm aware of so I'm happy to commit it... with oik-fields dependent upon oik v3.3.0
