Put your image in 16 bit before adding the gradient (top menu, Image > Precision > 16 bit), or you will have banding and/or your merging gradient won't be as smooth as your example
Even in 8-bit mode you can avoid banding by enabling the "dithering" on the gradient:
Unless you are memory-constrained, if you want high precision use 32-bit FP linear light. This is the mode in which all computations are done, so you avoid conversions and round-off errors.
