Looks cool! I like the layout.

But then he'd loose the reduction with the chains.

I'm not sure that it will be a problem, but the pinion gear on the middle CIM is going to have twice the load the others would have. I know that some teams with a similar layout have the idler gear between a CIM and the next stage of reduction, as opposed to between two CIMs.
