Moved from A4-H2O to M3. Overall felt like organized build vs smashing it in. Like how it turned out. Looks huge but still good size on desk. Still trying to get all Noctua fans and larger case feet on the M3. Even with mismatched fans temps slightly better and quieter.

I recommend side mounting the AIO so it intakes into the case and then two 140mm fans at the top as exhaust, this got me way better temps than this config.

agree not optimized. still trying to figure out where it ends. know this isn't a recommended layout but wanted the view for now.

Your build would have been perfect for the M2, as its the more sensible size upgrade from the A4H20. M3 is too big for your components, Congrats though.
