Still leaves it with the small pin headers using tiny wires that don't fit well with the larger screw terminals on drivers for larger motors. Made for screw terminals on the adapter, pluggable screw terminals could be installed so they're polarized, making a service replacement less "fool prone". Ie, unplug everything, install replacement unit, plug in everything - can't plug a motor driver control connection in backwards. Not without removing the adapter and plugging that in backwards.
Shouldn't need any additional components other than the small PCB, header pins and the screw block because all it's doing is changing the inputs to the Pololu from a pin to a screw clamp. Having 16 pins plugged in with screw terminals on top would be quite a bit more secure than having four small pins as the mechanical connection to the external driver.

CRAMPS-BOB3-a3 <https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/2p1xADDj> It is for the CRAMPS board. Instead of the step/dir/common pins going to a Polulu board, the are shipped over to the output connector on the CRAMPS board. So you can use the pin header to run on off board drive. If you are interested I can send you the schematic for the board.
