Yes. The idea was the simplest GPSDO that can be build with no PCB around an Arduino. We already know how to build compllelx and expensive GPSDO. That is "too easy".
I think you can use the PWM DAC on the Aruino to drive the OCXO. The bandwidth of this signal is "way low" so you can filter the PWM output with a (say) 1Hz low pass filter.
