MU single width VCO Ideas

Not sure if this is something I'd pick up, though do I like the concept. But, that could change after I get my ZO.

Will the oscillator work without the driver? (Sorry if I missed/forgot some previous discussion.)

Personally I would definitely prefer the coarse/fine knobs over an octave switch. The octave switch is nice on the Q106, but it would be very nice to have a different modus operandi in MU-land. Especially if you're using it a non-"musical" way or for audio-rate modulation. Continuously sweeping over the full range would be nice.

I'm in whichever way you decide to go. I guess I'd lean with others on a different working mode, but I'm OK either way.

People don't seem to have very strong feelings on this, so in that case the cheaper option wins. I say go with the coarse tuning pot if for no other reason than to differentiate your design from the Synthesizers.com VCO as much as possible. Variety is the spice of life.
