Hi and welcome
if you have a BSP for sequencing I would not start with the nifty or any other case that has any built in midi-cv conversion - you do not need it
I would get either the mantis (if you can find one) or the doepfer lc9 instead - these are better value for money
I think the module choice (especially with the BSP) is a good start I would swap out the disting for the newer version and the pico dsp for a fx aid xl (similar but more varied and with better ergonomics and more modulation inputs)
you could consider dropping batumi and possibly Pams even, at least, to start with - you have enough with the Maths I think to start
I'd go for veils over the intellijel quad vca, but that's mostly taste
I'd add mutable instruments links and kinks and something like shades (there are a lot of similar modules) as they are incredibly helpful in patching and to grab a few stackcables or headphone splitters to use as passive mults
if you are not going to fill the case in 1 go I would recommend using blind panels (cereal box card is fine) to stop unwanted metal objects (loose dangling cables for instance) shorting out the power etc

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
