Though I do tend to agree with Boromir and mormegil, I would like to say that Gimli probably did mature and "become a better dwarf" (alas, I view that he was one of the secondary characters neglected by Tolkien) during the journeys of the broken Fellowship. People just aren't born heroes...

However, even if we are to forget these differences, I would still disagree with you lmp. I believe there is some mentioning of Thorin's party, and their ancestors as "owing" Bilbo A LOT, for all that he did. I take it more as Gimli is such a committed member, and travels with Frodo for as long as he can, because they owed Bilbo so much, and to repay him Gimli commits himself to Bilbo's heir.

I disagree here....Gimli had many chances to turn back...especially when the Fellowship broke up. Surely more than the fact that they owed Bilbo a lot kept him going with Aragorn and Co. after the breaking.
