Do you know if this would be appropriate in, for example, a microscope stage?
I use steppers (open loop) to move a stage on bearings, and I would prefer to have closed-loop with position sensing (not movement- actual position- because a single dropped step will ruin an acquisition).
I already work with ESP32 and have done closed-loop DC motor stuff before, so I'm just curious if this is something I could drop in and be happy with.
I primarily use the Vertiq line because I'm dealing with speed of spinning a rotary magnetic bow, and timing a robotic drumming. I don't think Veriq is the right fit for a microscope stage.
They have a new line of closed loop steppers that would be better suited for that type of motion control.

These should provide very smooth and precise position control.
These units haven't shipped yet but will be soon.
