I had something similar in Naples. It seemed extremely decadent. I'm a sfogliatelle guy, myself, which is no less over-the-top, come to think of it.

An OG, crank-handle pasta maker is game changing for making sfogliatelle. But just buying them is mo’bettah.

I've never tried. Seems like a lot of work for a showy treat, one better purchased from a pro, as you say. OTOH, I might make pasteis de nata. It's a simpler use of that laminated dough, and honestly, probably my favorite pastry, whether the Portuguese version, or po tat, the variant from Macau.

I just looked at a video of some nonna making sfogliatelle with a pasta machine. That NEVER occurred to me. What a simple solution for the part I wanted to avoid!

The OG pasta machine is great for sm-med tortillas too. And yes, laminated doughs. Rough puff for British sausage rolls, even proper hot water crust.

I just use mine for pasta sheets and pita bread
