Your original post was expressing a concern about "recovering wheel speed". I assumed what you meant by that is coming back up to the operating speed after a frisbee goes through.
If that is the case, you've got your motor at the wrong operating point. It's way to slow.

We went with the overdrive gearbox to give us plenty of headroom for full court shooting.

Well that's new information which could change the answer.
Optimizing your gear ratio for best response from your motor at 1980 rpm wheel speed is one thing.
Finding the right compromise gear ratio for operating at two widely differing operating speeds is a different question
What is the fastest speed you want to operate at?
- what is the current draw or voltage at the 1980 rpm wheel speed?
- how are you decoding the speed sensor signal?

I think that the 1650 motor RPM puts us into a good torque scenario but poor efficiency, if that matters.

Gearing your motor for 1650 rpm motor speed at the 1980 rpm wheel operating speed does not give you optimum recovery response.
