[sdiy] TL07x as output stage?

Not necessarily... You can alleviate the problem described above with:
* A small resistor in series with the output (if you don't mind the
slight voltage drop when driving low-ish impedances - it's very
commonly done in Euroland for anything that doesn't require precision,
unlike pitch CVs)
* And/or a small cap between V- and Vo, and a resistor "in the loop".
(In Euroland, you'll find this more commonly in circuits producing or
manipulating pitch CVs, such as the output stage of a MIDI to CV
interface).
This has the additional benefit of isolating the op-amp if another
signal is patched there by mistake.
