Is this common when using Gopro?

Irrelevant. Key is: "that's not on GoPro's recommended list." Your problem is why GoPro has a list of cards that work. Some cards do not work, and your is one of them.

If the card I have doesn't work on my Gopro, how come that I have recorded plenty of 4K 60fps with that card?

"Doesn't work" means not reliable, get it? It may fail, and it did. Your question has been answered more than once. Get an approved card.

I thought I could use Samsung 256GB U3 in my SJCAM SJ8 Pro at 4k/60fps as small test clips worked. But when I used it further - Card too slow errors.

Works great so far in my GP 7 at 4k/60fps.

Is it really that gritty looking? Kind of looks fake. Where did you buy?

And that's not on GoPro's recommended list.

Well, I would expect more errors in the future. Good luck.

It is not a fake card. I bought it here:

Every Sandisk micro SD card are gritty if you look close.

I took a phone flash photo of a 32gb Ultra card and it also did the same.

Lots of fakes in the USA at times, have to be careful.

The file system on cards can get fragmented, which slows them down. Formatting is a way of resetting the file system back to square one, which may be why doing that made it work for you.

I have two cards per camera, swap them once a month, and format the card going into the camera - that eliminates any of these kinds of issues (and the card coming out of the camera serves as a kind of an additional backup for stuff I've uploaded to my computer).
