In my fantasy world, if this was ever implemented the rate would be
adjustable, and the track in the center of the window would always
be highlighted, making it easy to A or B button it right over to
the desired deck. This would mean that the end and beginning of the
tracklist would probably need to begin/end at the center of the window (instead of the top/bottom), but that would be fine.

It would be great to use the mouse for one fewer thing.

Would there be any other use case for scripting the scrollbars? If not, then it might make more sense to make that functionality a skin option or something.

if the table reaches the top or bottom it could just freeze and the selection would keep moving.
when starting from the top -a search for exampe- the selection would move down. as soon as it arrives in the center of the view the view move as with the selection.

when the selection reaches the end it could wrap around to beginning and vice versa, like in #3063

this could also be used to make horizontal scrolling smoother, right now the view moves jerkily if the focus is moved sideways.

.. the [scroll] rate would be adjustable

for MIDI this is just a matter of mapping the incoming values correctly, isn't it?
there is also [Library],ScrollVertically which can be mapped to Shift + turn.
