I took this very issue up in the comments over on Doug's blog. A normal guy with the min strength to wield a Gada (swing + 6) winds up doing 4.8d instead of the GURPS standard 4d. Using .25 instead of .33 helps bring that instance down to 4d again, but start scaling up the SM and adding enchantments, and you'd probably quickly exceed the standard rules again.
I like your idea of ((weapon bonus * 3) + ST)/10 (or 20 for thrusting) and will definitely take that under consideration.
