Would you recommend to follow this route to a newby or the risk of failure is too high?

Thanks
I would guess that is a quadrature output incremental encoder, however searches have not found any manuals for a 755 encoder.
How many wires does it have?
Ideally you want encoders with differential outputs, which means you're looking at a minimum of 6 wires (+V, Gnd, A-, A+, B-, B+), plus possibly an index pulse (Z-, Z+).

Everything has the potential for failure, but provided you're willing to learn, then most things are possible.
