Brother, não pense duas vezes e teste na protoboard.
Quando não existe lógica no problema devemos tentar tudo.
Segue a minha configuração do GRBL dos únicos itens que uso:
$100=40.000 (x, step/mm)
$101=40.000 (y, step/mm)
$102=40.000 (z, step/mm)
$110=3000.000 (x max rate, mm/min)
$111=3000.000 (y max rate, mm/min)
$112=1000.000 (z max rate, mm/min)
$120=300.000 (x accel, mm/sec^2)
$121=300.000 (y accel, mm/sec^2)
$122=100.000 (z accel, mm/sec^2)
Abaixo toda a configuração para referência:
