You'd have a tough time selling me on the reliability of the cabling (not unspooling ever, etc...) as well.
What type of printing is done on it? I'd have concerns about the strength of the eyelets too depending on motor ratio.

If these could move faster than a lead screw, I'd certainly consider using them. Really clever design, with some more improvements they could become a valid replacement for pistons in some applications. (though they really should increase the preload on that shooter
)
