When I was looking at the drawings of the chainstays I thought the 3 CX stay would be more like a 3 bend 29er stay and the road stay more like the regular CX stay. I didn't account for the diagram not showing the 100mm or so that was straight. Being a beginner framebuilder and just lucky I guess, I have not thought about seat stay to caliper clearance. Have you looked at the dropouts linked below.

Attached is a pic of the road flat mount stays and a pic of the caliper clearance using a 1 1/2 inch round dropout the CS is 1 inch dia. The seatstay attaches at 52cm above the BB
