another notable and "futuristic" aspect to this table, which is easier to see in the video you shared, is the complete lack of roll-over switches - there's no wires or buttons sticking out from under the playfield. instead, there are Hall Effect sensors under each lane, to detect balls passing by on the playfield surface.
(the Pinball News review of New Canasta goes into more detail: https://www.pinballnews.com/games/newcanasta/index.html)
the intention was that these sensors would require less maintenance than normal rollover microswitches - no need to bore skinny holes through the playfield for the wire that trips the switch, and no moving parts to maintain at all. the short-lived Heighway Pinball used Hall Effect sensors throughout their Full Throttle and Alien tables. however, this particular idea doesn't seem to have caught on, and most modern pinball manufacturers around today (besides The Pinball Brothers, who took over production of Alien) still use rollover microswitches and optical sensors.
as someone watching the industry from the outside, i figure the main reason would be the greatly-increased parts cost of using Hall Effect sensors compared to simple microswitches. i also assume that a malfunctioning Hall Effect sensor would require more expertise for an operator to repair, compared to other types of hardware.
