I love you place but not that setup over the stove.  Don't like that one bit.  You may have cement board directly over the stove but still have those beams on the sides.  Is it really worth risking your whole house you have put so much time into?  It's your place,  just something to think k about.

You are correct that this application isn't per the manufacturer but ...

... but I can't imagine an insurance adjuster or a fire marshall countenancing this installation and I can not sit idly by without comment on the matter. I hope nobody copies this.

Also what about front clearances. The way I read my stove manual the posts out in front at diagonals would be too close.     YMMV

I am pretty sure it would not pass the 'required' state inspection here.   Here it is the plumbing inspector that is also loaded down with HVAC and wood stoves as well.  He was giving my stove, stove pipe and chimney the hairy eye ball Thursday when he was here - though was not called to inspect such.
