i'd say yes, something is being overlooked here.
once you have optics on the spindle and a stepper on
the lead screw, you're one stepper short of full cnc
control...
at that stage it makes little sense to me to build a
circuit and add a microprocessor to snatch
'semi-kinda' from the jaws of 'real'. my 2 cents,
anyway.
