Vlad, I had some difficulty following your instructions.

The circle wouldn't extrude along the circular path. I think the angle was wrong. I overcame this by drawing a torus, centred on the centre of the circular path.

I can’t make the segments join up. There seems to be a difference in the angle of the elliptical face at each end or the quarter.

The end view, although very close to circular, is not exactly round. I think an elliptical extrusion path would solve this as it could be made to appear exactly round when viewed from the top.

I expect these problems would not be noticeable with a shallow slope angle.

On the whole, a well thought out process. I particularly liked changing the UCS to draw the circular path.

Sorry, didn't see your question.
I absolutely forgot to tell about one very important limitation.
High of one rotation (360) should be less or close to radius.
H<=R
On your dwg H= 4* R.
All spirals, what I did last years, didn’t cross this condition.
I think: this is a common case.
Sorry one more time.

Regards.

Vlad
