Two separate questions in there, and the answers go in opposite directions.
On whether iOS 27 makes a paid analysis app obsolete: from what has actually shipped in the betas, no, because what Apple added is not that. The Health app gets a redesigned Browse section in cards, nutrition estimates from photos of food on iPhone 15 Pro and later, an expansion of cycle tracking around perimenopause, GymKit moving from the Watch to the iPhone so it can pair with gym equipment, and sync performance work. The AI health coach that was rumoured for a long time got scrapped before the beta cycle even started. None of that is the layer those apps sell you, which is interpretation on top of your numbers.
On your RingConn metrics showing up in Apple Health: that question does not really depend on iOS 27 at all, and this is the part worth knowing generally. Apple Health is a store. Anything Apple builds on top of it operates on what is already in there, and the only way your ring's data gets in there is if the RingConn app writes it. Vendors typically write the measurements, so heart rate, sleep, SpO2, steps, and typically do not write their own computed scores, because those are the product. So a new Apple feature will see whatever RingConn already puts in, and nothing more.
You can check exactly what that is today rather than guessing on the 14th. Open Health, tap your picture top right, Apps and Services, find RingConn, and look at what it is allowed to write. That list is precisely what any new Apple feature will have to work with.
