Without a DRO, how would one check the bored diameter? Is the only way to start/stop the lathe constantly?

No need for a DRO. A DRO won't make the machine more accurate, just a bit easier to use.
Boring part by part is possible, but an FRC team who plans to start making custom parts should purchase the specific undersize reamer for the bearing. We really only use two size bearings on 95% of 973's robots, so it was a great investment (same for broaches, etc...).
