If I don't call .ConfigEncoderCodesPerRev(), then .set() works in the silly transitions / 100ms units.

Do I have that correct?
Yes, that is correct.

I would avoid leveraging the internal unit scaling, though, because some of the other lower level functions (e.g. getEncVelocity) will still return in native units/100ms and mixing units is a recipe for confusion. Just do the unit scaling in your own code - you need only write two methods (RPMToNative and nativeToRPM), and you will never have any doubt about what units a variable is in.
