An e-assist should minimize the need for so many gear ratios. You can get a wide gear range without the complexity, weight, and redundancy that you get with with a multi-chainring setup. There are folding ebikes that will easily accommodate your height, I had a guy 6'5" fit comfortably on our Origami FireFly.
