Efeito personalizado que simula uma roda 3D com o Swiper 5

Preciso construir um carrossel com 12 itens que simulam uma roda 3D girando infinitamente. Para ser claro, preciso criar precisamente esse efeito:

https://codepen.io/SitePoint/pen/yXWXaw (encontrado aqui )

mas com esses recursos adicionais (especialmente no computador e no celular):

1. os slides devem seguir passo a passo o furto, ou seja, os slides devem se mover enquanto deslizam (como o Swiper).
2. Com um toque rápido, ele deve rolar muitos slides com impulso (como o Swiper faz com freeScroll).
3. Então, quando a roda para de girar, ela se encaixa no slide dianteiro (como o Swiper faz com freeModeStickye centeredSlides) que é o escolhido pelo usuário.
4. Eu preciso de um retorno de chamada sempre que uma alteração de slide (como um evento slideChanged) (como o Swiper faz).

Por todas essas razões, pensei no Swiper 5.3.0 seria um bom ponto de partida.

Tentei várias soluções alternativas, a melhor é com essa configuração, mas a loop: truesolução alternativa é terrível e causa problemas (verifique os comentários):

  var swiper = new Swiper(el_class, {
    slidesPerView: 1.5,
    spaceBetween: 25,
    centeredSlides: true,
    grabCursor: true,
    speed: 550,
    loop: true, // <== repeat infinitely the 12 items. with fast scroll at the end of a cycle it waits a while before render the next cycle. Awful
    loopAdditionalSlides: 10, 

    // Free mode
    freeMode: true, // <== free scrolling. Good
    freeModeMomentumRatio: 1,
    freeModeMomentumVelocityRatio: 1.5,
    freeModeMomentumBounceRatio: 1,
    freeModeMinimumVelocity: 0.02,
    freeModeSticky: true, // <== snap to the slides. Good

    // Touch Resistance
    resistanceRatio: 0.85,

    // Prevent blurry texts
    roundLengths: true,

  });

Definitivamente não é o caminho certo.

Eu acho que o caminho certo é desenvolver um Swiper personalizado effect(como o built-in cubeEffect, coverflowEffect...) que simula a roda, sem o uso de loop:trueque as questões de causas. Por exemplo, aqui um cara cria seu próprio efeito personalizado que define no effectatributo Swiper: https://codepen.io/paralleluniv3rse/pen/yGQjMv

...
effect: "myCustomTransition",
...

Como desenvolver um efeito personalizado como a roda 3D de que preciso?

Eu acho que é isso que você deseja: https://codepen.io/mukyuu/pen/GRgPYqG .

Quase preencheu suas condições, exceto pelo fato de não estar usando o Swiper 5 e o snap.

1. Está girando com a direção do furto.
2. Com um toque rápido, ele deve rolar muitos slides com impulso (como o Swiper faz).
3. Então, quando a roda pára de girar, ela se encaixa em um slide (como o Swiper faz).
4. No ontouch função, há um retorno de chamada.
