Having to do that in each instance is still really cumbersome for cheap mass deployment compared to just making a digital-style exact copy, but then again I guess a main argument for wanting these systems is that they'd be doing things unachievable in practice on digital computers.
In some cases one might be able to distill to digital arithmetic after the heavy parts of the optimization are done, for replication, distribution, better access for software analysis, etc.
