FWIW, I "cnc'd" my "WMD30LValike reasonably priced mill" using the
standard ACME screws thinking that backlash could be compensate for by
software and/or that the backlash wouldn't annoy me.

Neither was true (cutting forces push/pull the tool around the backlash
envelope creating facets on the work) and I'm now in the middle of
retro-fitting ballscrews....

...which I should have done in the first place; Gawd knows there's
enough advice on that there Internet saying 'just fit ballscrews'.
