Some sort of scale on the side/bottom of the screen would solve that easy enough. It’s only really useful when accelerating into the highway or from a red light, not terribly important.
Not really, you never really check how fast the needle moves it’s a side effect of checking your speed. A scale by the numbers, or as a circle around the numbers, would have the same affect. You just noticed how fast it’s moving in your periphery as you check your speed.
You can design a digital readout to intuitively provide the same.
And I think you’re overstating the importance of rate of change in analog guages that you find in commuter cars.
An analogue gauge is useful because you can see the rate of change not just the current value.

More points of failure and less intuitive.
I disagree that it is inherently less intuitive, it depends on the design. You’re overthinking the points of failure part.
