Would duct tape pass the pre-launch vibe check? You'd have to do some engineering work to make sure it's sturdy, doesn't have any impact wrt oscillations, won't create FOD (debris) etc.
Once you've done all that work, I'm not sure what you've actually accomplished. By the time any sentient being gets around to visiting JWST, I wouldn't be surprised if an unshielded commercial drive would be rendered totally unusable by radiation.
