The paper describes this.
Modify motor adaptor
Make a plate that holds motor to adaptor
Get Planet2 from extra transmission,
enlarge hole to 1/8,
press off 13T that is on FP,
press on 1/8 bore Planet2 onto FP
Mix well... ...Done!

My first impression is that a gear would produce a smaller side load but without a transmission in hand I may be missing some issues with mounting accuracy.
Sprockets, gears, same same. The pitch radius essential determines the side load. One is as easy as the other. If you like, gears you can do the same thing with a gear that we suggest you do with a sprocket.
