OK, so there is a tiny sacrifice in how close the tailstock can get to the cross slide. A socket head cap screw prevents the tailstock from ever hitting the DRO scale.

I think this is pretty much exactly how I`m gonna go with this buddy, if the scale can be positioned rearwards of the crosslide locking nut, I should be ok.
