 The electronics there is far beyond me but how general (and how
reliable) can this be made?
 

Well it isn't very general. It takes two voltages between on and one an multiplies them together.
That's what it does.
Going from digits to volts is relatively fast and easy, but the reverse is not so true

The operations I’m currently interested in are modular multiplication,
addition and subtraction with comparatively small moduli (12-bit and
23-bit, currently). It’s a well-undertood problem with digital
computation, of course, but I’m curious about whether there’s another
option here.
 

That flew over my head Richard. Advanced maths is not my forte ...
