The kit shaft is very strong. A cantilevered sprocket should be no problem as long as the sprocket is close to the bearing.
Will this be the end of the world to have it cantilevered... no. Optimal? Not really.

The easy answer to whenever you have 3 bearings in a line... what is the middle one for? Can't you just remove it? Since they're bearings, they must be lined up on rigid surfaces. It should be as simple as running the sprocket and wheel in between the two bearing and mounting blocks...

I hope this helps.
