Possibly a bit unstable. Better to try a solution like the photo above where the flywheel shaft and wheel are supported on both sides by something other than the gearbox itself. Otherwise that's a pretty big unsupported side load on the gearbox.
Lots of options, all just variations on the same theme. Gearbox shaft > coupler > flywheel shaft. It just depends what you have on hand, your feelings about metric hardware, and whether you have access to a lathe.
cimulator > 8mm to 8mm shaft coupler > 8mm shaft with 8mm AM hubs
cimulator > 5/16" to 1/2" shaft coupler > 1/2" shaft with 1/2" AM hubs
If you want to avoid keys you could also use a hex shaft with the end turned down to match a shaft coupler, and then use the AM hex hubs for the wheel.
