I'm pretty sure we're not limiting ourselves by ensuring that we have a working robot.

I'm not saying it won't work to have an off-center mecanum. However, you will have you compensate for drift in code or with suspension, which takes time.
We wanted to go mecanum, but found that our play style would limit their effectiveness. I like mecanum. I'm just saying that putting the center of mass so far forward could invite problems.
