As far as any given driver goes, it depends on whether the protocol for the LD player or player(s) used by the original machine is known.
It should theoretically be possible to LLE any given player if a dump of the MCU is known, but with the amount of low-level servo control/feedback that is expected, it would be more pragmatic to use HLE implementations of the players on a per-game basis.
Regarding Space Ace and Dragon's Lair, there's a good handful of LDF captures of both already in-hand, but given the amount of licensing paranoia that surrounds them, I'd be just fine with it if they were handled last. As long as the captures themselves are done, they can be processed and brought in at any point, so there's not so much time pressure versus games that haven't yet been run through a player kitted out with a DdD board.
