I still like the precision of a direct drive motor with an absolute encoder on the output axle as being pretty close to optimum.
Just hope the prices come down with time and scale of manufacture,
and all this conjecture will become moot.

Yes the worms are slightly longer but the encoders slip inside the worm and are fixed with a grub screw. Would it be possible to drill a hole in the centre of the EQ6 worms and do the same? Most likely I would think, wouldn't prove too difficult. Now the black box, well that's a different story unless you worked out a way to wire them back into the circuit board internally and made corrections in the software to compensate for the slower rotation.
Yes direct drive is the future no doubt.
