As my mark was off for how many belt teeth would be needed, I wanted to get some opinions on an appropriate number before committing.

My unqualified, gut opinion not based on any calculations - you should be fine. 35 chain is extremely strong and forgiving. Properly tensioned, it is quite hard to break 35 chain anywhere on an FRC robot. Much, much harder to size incorrectly than belts.
