How about just get it done (temporary)? I assume you will have some kind of flat bench work anyhow. Take the turnouts, some Caboose ground throw, the flex tracks and some tumbtack and start laying the track. Attach the DCC wires to the end a stub track. It will be fine for testing the next days.
Put some paper boxes next to the tracks for industry buildings (the kernel of toilet paper makes great grain elevators 8-) )
And than play with it for days until you know what you like and what you do not like. You will find out how it feels, how the cars fit on the tracks (or not) etc. I strongly believe in planning for a certain period of time after that it is time for proof of concept. How about that?
ps. The "price" to pay are some flex track cut to short. That is marginal compared to a layout that does not match your expectations.
