Comment (by Kamil Filipek):

 The workaround is tested and works without issues.
 Here is a release for anyone interested in playing with their GoPro
 footage (in my case re-encoding into more condensed H265)
 https://github.com/HighPriest/FFmpeg/releases/tag/Temp_GoPro_Workaround

 The workaround **IS NOT SAFE FOR PRODUCTION**, as it is essentially
 skipping `codec_validation` function present in remuxer code.
 The skip happens only for streams with **unknown** codec_tag, which
 shouldn't be mapped by ffmpeg anyway, if **copy_unknown** flag is not set.
 But I am only speculating based on my findings from one day.
