It took a fair bit of work to modify the DeWalts, but it was still less than any other 3-speed transmissions I know of and that we were capable of making with our limited resources.
If you can't keep that stage, it wouldn't be too much extra work to move each dewalt inward, and have a sprocket reduction to the outer wheel. Then keep the center wheel connected in the same fashion.

Keep refining this until it is 100% ready for production, it will save your team a lot of time.
