When i clean out my bearings, i always take my wheel for a bit of a
spin.

It's possible!

If you can seat push/drag you should be able to use it as a UW

Yes it is possible, but it is much, much harder to learn to ride than a
purpose built ultimate wheel. A circus friend of mine learnt in this
way and it took him months to get it. He was astonished when I told him
I learnt to ride on a purpose UW in 2 or 3 hours. The reason its harder
is that the pedals are further out from the plane the of the wheel,
compared to a real UW which has its pedals screwed into the plane of
the wheel.
