Do my belt results seem plausible?

Is there a reason sprockets and roller chain won't work? I'd have to check
but I think #60 chain handles this load. It would be smaller simpler
cheaper.

I'm not a great believer in high speed chain drives, but I did consider
them.
Going by the charts I have, it could be done with a 3/4" pitch Triplex
chain, but the required sprockets would be too big, and also it would have
to run in an oil bath. Also the expense is more expensive than purchasing
new gears.
