It seems like an absolute encoder would immediately lose its advantages if a reduction gear were used though? Then you would still need to rehome the number of revolutions.

Wouldn't you mount the encoder after the reductor then, where the position actually matters?
Yes, we are discussing servos packaged with an absolute encoder
You can get multi-turn absolute encoders for these applications.
