Great points you make. We actually do have an encoder and PID on it to set and manage target speeds based on shooting distances. When shooting from any distance that has a reasonable probability of actually scoring (5-12ft), the wheels are not spinning anywhere near full power and the PID code does attempt to aggressively recover the target RPM. So I think we ended up close to what you recommend.
