Using the tapped hole on the end of the shaft is a good idea, it's worked for us in the past but not exactly as you describe it. In 2013 our shooter wheels were on two vp gearboxes and we needed to attach encoders to each for control. Our solution was to thread in a bolt with the head removed and couple this to the encoder via a short piece of surgical tubing held on by zip ties.
