So I just did a quick experiment to see what kind of difference using bushings vs bearings made. I've added the result to a previous post. Went from all VFC steel bushings to Modify ceramic bearing bushings with a steel bushing left under the spur gear.

Current draw went down from 26A to 23A, everything else in the gearbox remained the same, I only installed the bearings, and of course I reshimmed it. RoF increased from around 37 RPS before to 45 RPS now. Current draw went down from 26A to 23A, difference of over 10%. I definitely was not expecting this much of an improvement.
