This scenario is no different than if there was no conveyor runway but instead the breaks were locked on or the wheels were blocked. Sure there is some lift but not enough to take off.

No - it's actually more like if the wheels were locked, but the runway was basically frictionless. Or even better - if the plane had no wheels and was just able to hover in the air. And it can certainly take off in those scenarios, right?

Yes, but I don't see how your original scenario is the same as these last scenarios. I'll go back and reread it. But per your OP, if the plane moves forward through the air, and the wheels are still in contact with the conveyor, then the wheels and conveyor can't be going the same speed, as I see it.
