I don't know if the Prius EPS needs an RPM input - Prii can do engine-off EV operation up to 40+mph in my Gen2. What I read was that the Prius EPS, installed in a car that was too analog to provide such info, nevertheless provided some assistance. It didn't turn up to higher assistance at low speeds like you'd expect, but some assistance is better than nothing.
I'll see if I can't dig up where I saw that and drop a link. I'm pretty sure I'm remembering it correctly.
