Well presumably the lookup table can have steps you go through (produce this symbol, then go to row 3568), with state as well, so it’s more like a Turing machine than a single-shot table lookup.

That's a motte-and-baily really. If one starts out with a LUT and then retreats to a turing machine when challenged, that is. If our friend in the Chinese room is in fact permitted to operate some sort of Turing machine, I'd make a very different set of inferences!
