in my initial swerve design, i used a system similar to what you described, with bevel gears and 'remote' gearboxes (dewalts, in my case). in the end, i decided against this and mounted the gear box inside the module because of 'torque-steer'.
this thread and
this thread offer some pretty good insight into it. obviously, torque steer doesn't preclude this style of design (since its been done successfully before), but it is an additional factor to consider.
