However, the build volume (5"x5") is significantly smaller than most FDM printers, and it's significantly slower, as I understand.

It is much faster to position a laser spot than it is to move an extruder head. As you would expect though there is a trade-off between resolution and layer thickness vs. print speed since more layers/raster lines need to be used.
