I've never used Mobius, and I can't find any screenshots on their site, but even if all it did was mirror the EDP LED readout, that's actually a six digit display, which changes depending on what action has been selected.  And importantly (I suspect, based on what I'm seeing on V-Machines page),  it's not just a few largely-static parameters (mix,  level,  rate, depth, overdrive, etc.) a la most simple effects pedals.  And I suspect that there's no provision to handle more sophisticated UI displays.

But sure, if you never need to look at the screen, then you're fine.  Assuming the thing runs Mobius, which it probably won't.

In this discussion, we weren't considering most plugins, but one

I'm not mistaken) has a few LEDs and a 3-digit LED number display or
something to that effect.

I found that when I do my looping work using Mobius, there is only a minimum
amount of information I require as an optical feedback from the plugin. Most
of the time I don't even have the Mobius screen up.
