From the gates documentation it seems that the setup would only be rated for 433 oz.in which is below thew 1000 oz.in the 3 cim drive is rated for especially when accounting for a factor of safety.
This setup works perfectly fine. We're running this exact same setup and it's been driving beautifully the past few days without a problem. I know many teams ran a similar setup in the offseason (ourselves included) and it worked just as fine then.
