I am curious about what implementation you'll come up with for keycapless design, but from my end it sounds like you're using terms interchangeably without understanding them. AFAIK, travel is related to switches but you're talking about it in the same breath as case design, so the overall idea comes across as somewhat confusing.
Good luck with the project though!

The travel from top to bottom of the switch is <0.5mm and because of the design it will end up ~0.3mm for a key press. The prototype will be a sandwich with handwiring but I hope to make a working PCB afterwards once I dial down my design. Since this switch does not mount like any mechanical keyboard switch, I'll be going with a two part plate design to hold them down which can be replaced by a PCB eventually even if socket mounted.
edit : and thanks I appreciate it. I understand that the community is quite unsure and skeptical about this, but trust me, I really think it's going to bring something new to keebs.
