That would be the perfect spot for a thumb wheel, it's a cool idea.
I myself did not do any statistical analysis, the effort was done by the neo layout project (https://www.neo-layout.org/) and the hybrid English/German variety called noted. I modified it slightly to fit my hex grid.
The height difference makes it possible to hit the edge of the key without pressing the key below. And you'll find the home row more easily just from the bent layout shape. This should also help with hitting the right modifiers.
I want to try Jan Lunge's Keyboard configurator (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtYJYFMWjNM) for KMK but have not made a final decision. If I hit a road block with his configurator I might try QMK. Either software supports layers.
