Thanks so much for your reply binarynightowl! Quite some time has passed since this post and things have sorted themselves happy to say, though I was never able to apply these drivers via more conventional manners as you clearly understand.
I'd been having frustrations in getting the TMC 2100 sticks to run without missing steps even with active cooling, and had read someplace that the 2208 drivers might be a better choice. But eventually just by playing long enough with values and parameters of the printer and 2100 drivers I lucked out and hit on what appears to be a workable configuration -- haven't had missed steps now in a good long while and the absolute silence of the steppers even in spreadCycle mode is remarkable!
I'll be installing the Duet Ethernet on the new machine which I'm building, so I'll be able to take advantage of the TMC features of its drivers such as you describe.
