Probably a good bit of that code is for communicating with the mother ship and I won't have that feature . . .
The pair of Mistu drives will help a lot in reducing the coding and the sensor count as they will fault in some of the situations and they have a position reached signal that will serve as the sensor for several of the steps. In taking advantage of that, the controller would not be able to pinpoint a failure quite as accurately, but the operator can snoop around a bit to figure out what stopped the party.
Those are the biggies. The rest is, as you pointed out, to keep the machine from chewing its own ankles off.
I would try to design in a failure point to prevent that.
