You'll want to hook this up to a shop vac with a hepa filter and a bag (with no bag, the filter will clog up in half a second and the whole rig stops working almost immediately). It won't just be a little dusty without the vac you won't even be able to see.

HEPA filter is less commonly available. Ridgid does have one available for their vacs, not sure about the others.
Bear in mind that the machine is designed to work on a very flat surface, and the only resistance it is expecting is from drywall mud.
Go to the comments on Amazon for this specific machine and search for "deck" for more feedback. Others have tried your idea, and while the feedback is mixed, it is mostly positive.

Use a hepa filter on a shop vac and a long to put the exhaust out a window and it can be pretty low dust
Have them sand, you do the rest of the work.
If you rent machine, you will have to learn how to not end up with low and high spots on the deck.
Nothing else will be as cost effective as floor sander. Plus you can blow the deck off, unlike indoors.
Keep in mind it's not random orbit, so you need to keep it moving. And it's relatively light weight. OK for light sanding, but if your deck is really gone, you may want a heavier drum sander to save time.
