The Team221 WildSwerve modules use a 1/8" bearing shim so that 1/8" plates can be used. They work pretty well. I'll see if i can find a picture.
Also, I wouldn't use the motor mounting holes as the gearbox plate holes, mainly because I like those motor mounts TIGHT and sometimes gearbox assembly bolts need to be loosened a little bit so the gearbox can run with less internal friction. I suppose that may be a personal bias though and not a requirement.
One other thing to think about
: How would this mount onto the frame of a robot? The machined plates look cool, but how would you mount it? That's probably too much of a robot-specific question to fully answer right now but is worth thinking about.
Looks good. Keep up the hard work.
