Are any of the modern aftermarket ECUs actually deficient in this respect?

Won't that result in the revs dropping too slowly when you change gear? It'll be like having a heavy flywheel.

DIY fly-by-wire is certainly an ambitious project! Apart from getting working well enough to improve driveability rather than impair it (which most of the road systems seem to do - I find them very non-intuitive) I'd be seriously concerned about getting the failure mode to be safe (throttles closed).

Good luck, keep us posted!

PS It would be a lot easier and cheaper to just not lift off suddenly
