Ah. Yes I have several courses on the old framework. 

Having said that the up/down arrows (instead of left/right) do seem to work in shifting the handle across the slider. Will this be intuitive to accessibility users and will they know the values its stopping at?

I assume so since the HTML5 'range' input control works in the same way. In fact, if you inspect the slider component you'll see that there's actually a range input control being updated behind the scenes, I suspect it's this element which screen readers actually read.
