I don't understand. Why would the blades move at all? They're in a vacuum. There's no lift to cause displacement. Pitch/AOA would have no effect.

Very low rotational speed is only a problem if there is another force present that will dominate the gyro behavior - such as, on a toy gyro, the toppling torque that any object standing on one point...
