Spaced repetition works well for motor learning. You just have to keep hitting “Again” until you are actually good at it.
Sure, you can sort of use SRS here, but it's suboptimal and probably will leave too many cards in the top priority "learning" pile causing too much load, or you train incorrectly.
Still, I agree that this is MUCH better than NOT doing SRS if you don't have an alternate tool with a better algorithm.
