Rotax RPMs
I haven't flown one, so I can't be certain, but I'm guessing it would at
least seriously hamper the engines ability to windmill during a temporary fuel starvation, or carb ice situation. I've never thought of that. Does anyone with Rotax flight experience know the answer to that?

Why do you want it to windmill? there is no vacuum system.

Besides, using the starter yields the desired result at least as quickly. You don't need to dive on a direct drive, the engine continues to windmill from the time it stalls. In Cessna's you have to slow to very near stall speed to actually stop the prop. I would suspect the same for all the Lycoming and Continental powered aircraft.
