3. And... if so, do you then have to wrestle the reg out of their death grip to stop an uncontrolled ascent/descent if they accidentally begin pressing the wrong buttons?
I don't know if these things could actually happen but they are the theoretical flaws I perceived when considering that set up.

It is actually quite simply. When using a combined inflater/octo you donate your primary second stage.
If you think about you would never reach the OOA diver with the combined inflater/octo since the corrugated hose is way too short.

If you were looking at this setup at a local dive shop the person should have explained this to you. If they did not they have no business selling scuba equipment that they don't understand.
