I don't see why this shouldn't be perfectly viable.
1. CVT transmissions have been around for 30+years, in the snowmobile industry, and are reliable and tuneable with zero electronics.
2. With this properly set up, it could work as well as a vane style blower. By changing the ratio so the supercharger keeps spinning fast at low engine RPM, you could have the same level boost available everywhere.
We had a guy running a snowmobile trans on a centrifugal many years ago, on a Porsche 914, and it worked really well. Nearly full boost just off idle, and super linear power delivery.
