When I experimented with using a magic loose sewn cotton buffing wheel for burr removal it did not pan out for me. I was not able to get it to remove burr. If memory serves, there was some minor burr removal, but mostly it just did some straightened the the burr and polished the bevel.
I'm not sure of your thinking, but If you are thinking of adjusting your routine I would be dubious of simply skipping the Scotch-Brite step and going directly to the buffing wheel. If that is what you mean by adjusting your routine, I would replace the Scotch-Brite step with with something else like a leather belt or wheel.
Then again, you may be doing something differently that I am, and if what you are doing is working it's hard to argue with that! You know... if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!
If you look very carefully, even after the leather belt there is still a very small amount of burr. It's not much, but a few more passes on the leather belt would have been more complete. There is just a small amount of rolled burr in some areas of the edge. You can see it where the arrows point and in other areas too. Close examination is required, but it's there.
Here is a closer image of my crappy job of burr removal with the leather belt. Admittedly this is a very small amount of burr and it would not be visible with just a loupe. But nonetheless, there it is! Yuck!
