spectruino's ADC isn't fast enough to capture all the data from a CCD data frame, thus to get an entire spectrum one needs to sample multiple times and shift the ADC sample clock... or deal with not having all the pixels. This method would be fine if your samples aren't changing, but for something like enzyme kinetics this non-simultaneous method will likely yield poor results. For applications that can use a monochromator, this method should be fine (albeit with lower spectral resolution since monochromators usually have quite high spectral resolution)

I'm still yet to find an actual use for the thing, regardless of constraints/limitations. The fact is, until we have a use of the hardware which allows average-person to gain some advantage, we have little progress.

Can I check for Ebola with the thing?
