If the wheel speed never allows the plane to move there is no way it can take off.

the wheels are essentially spinning at double the speed on the airplane, so the airplane is actually moving forward and creates lift. the wheels are just moving twice the speed until takeoff

The engines push against air around the plane (or in proportion to the mass flow rate of exhaust out of the engine), not the ground.

The free-spinning wheels make the conveyor irrelevant.
