We cannot calculate the tensor for every point on an entire orbit (or
even less than that.) General Relativity does not take us forward
experimentally rather theoretically. Calculating an orbit with it cannot
be done to completion. We have approximation.
Why would you say something that silly? Of course you can calculate the
tensor for the entire orbit.
For a circular orbit you would be right. There is infinite
calculations to be done.
Since the orbit is inertial, it's just a geodesic defined by the metric;
and that is one of the simplest things to calculate.
The fact is orbit motion speeds up toward perehlion and slows down
toward apehelion.

I doubt it.
I won for unmoving acceleration and wave function collapse.
