i disagree about feedback.  it's the only practical way to zero in on
perfect mixture under widely and wildly changing conditions, but i've
always thought that to a degree it was a crutch for systems that
didn't have the proper sensors to read the environment going in.  our
injected '71 saab didn't have no stinkin feedback and it had more hp,
ran better, and got better mileage than our otherwise-identical carbed
'71.  as far as i could determine, the engines were identical
internally; only the induction system differed.  this was btw an
analog system, based afaik on bendix patents that may have been on the
'57 rebel system.
