Wouldn't something like this be sufficient in many cases? https://www.pololu.com/product/1182

It would depend on the amperage of the steppers involved, but sure - though I'm partial to the DRV8825 - it's considered a better driver in the 3d printer realm.

Only for the tiniest of steppers. So basically no.

In my experience you can judge a stepper driver by the size of its heat sink.
