ATPL holder here on airbus types.

The airspeed can jiggle a bit but the altimeter and vert speed should not.

the alt and v/s are measured by static pressure so less susceptible to gusts whereas speed measured by combo of static and pitot pressure.

RPM obviously the prop is a big flywheel so should not be big fluctuations and the connection from prop to gauge is mechanical

But i never flew spits........sigh
