In formal speech, it is okay! Within natural speech and dialect, it is recognised as "going to." In formal writing, it would not be acceptable. Ex: By 2024, we're gonna launch the latest model of our product. => formal speech = By 2024, we're going to launch the latest model of our product. => formal writing
