This works fine in vim 8:

autocmd CursorHoldI * stopinsert

After about 5 seconds or so of inactivity in insert mode it automatically returns to normal mode.

However, in neovim I use the deoplete autocompletion plugin, which is great... except it stops this from working. Any way to have my cake and eat it too?

Seems to work well for me if I type :autocmd CursorHoldI * stopinsert in the Neovim command line. Maybe there is something else in your setup? See How do I debug my vimrc file? for some guidance on how to isolate the problem. – Martin Tournoij Oct 11 '18 at 03:27
