What you just described is getting halfway to a CNC machine.
Another benefit of this system would be portability. You can set it up and use it almost anywhere, like at a job site.
Having a system with clamps, overhead tracking, etc. is going in the wrong direction. It's not like the stickers are some huge inconvenience or expensive consumable.

what about projecting the sticker patterns onto the wood rather than real stickers?
The wood will move slightly when it's cut, so that won't work.
I am quite sure this can be countered - the wood could be clamped and the router could be tracked and the picture adjusted.
Further, the amount of movement would not make your routes completely useless/wildly inaccurate.

And I am quite sure it can not. Just walking near the table will move it more than the stated 0.009" accuracy.
And supposing you could counter it - your method is wildly more complicated than a sticker. Why not just use a sticker?
