I'm wondering if it is necessary to space the hub over that far. Could you use a different spacer combination that puts the cogs a bit closer to the driveside stays?
I wouldn't worry about the 135 kgf on the driveside spokes. I'd be more concerned about not having enough tension on the non-driveside spokes.
