True, but it's far easier to add a thin washer or two and offset the motor a bit further from the stay (and maybe add a bit of dishing to the spokes) to make up for that.

sendcutsend is amazing. Worked a charm:
So far the motor cable is happy, the caliper fits without any interference, and the caliper pads are making good contact.
The opening in the middle is extremely tight, so that could use a bit more diameter. Had to add one extra axle washer to avoid a collision (the bolt holding the arm to the dropout was hitting my rotor's "mid plate" bolt heads).
Could fix the collision with a revision that uses chainring bolts instead of these normal m5's, but I'll see how the V1 fares in ride testing before I consider another cut order.

All mounted up; decent pad contact, stops well, no wire rub, and a 3d printed (polycarbonate+carbonfiber) kickstand mount.

Caliper gap; plenty wide now.
