FWIW, I collected anew Delta DW713saw, so far untested! I did get in
some shop time this weekend, but on an unrelated repair.

The main issueI see with making my own is my lack of a jointer. Another
option is to mount the saw on a table (or saw horses) and use a roller
stand (I've seen pictures of that being done, but it looksrisky). It's
not like I'm planning to build a deck or anythinglike that--more like,
"clamp stand" and "plant table".

That depends, my personal feelings on these type of stands is that
they server the contractor better than a woodworker.
But if you are just using it for home repair then it probably fits the
bill (no pun intended)... But if you plan to gravitate to furniture,
etc.. then the drawbacks I see are repeatabliity (acurately)
If you have a good fence, and a secure design, and a good blade, can
this tool be expected to work to furniture-level tolerences? FWIW, I
bought an LED for the miter saw.

So far, I'm finding furniture-level tolerences to be a pain, and I've
barely started!

Anyone besides Leon familial with this beast (I see it is "Handy Man
Member Tested and Recommended"!).

Woodcraft sells the unit.

Here is a good and a bad review. Either way IIRC it las a life time
warranty.
