If the main drive gear is to be made from aluminum (as it appears) you're likely to run into a durability issue with such a thin profile. Even though there's very little stress on the gear, the aluminum will wear down.

A steel gear, on the other hand, will tend to wear a groove into the nylon counter gear.

Making the drive gear wider will alleviate these potential issues, but the material costs go through the roof.
