Nice track plan, but as a layout plan, I agree access and reach are a problem, and will likely detract from your enjoyment.   Perhaps another revision could be worked out?

Not sure about elevations, and where tracks would meet at crossing rather than crossing above or below, put perhaps something like this could be worked-out:

I do have one of these in the garage that I don't use.  Folded up flat and hanging on the wall for more than a few years.  I think they call it a topside creeper.  It should help some with reach , especially if the waste pipe needs a cleanout.  I think I will commit to a duck under to access the water pressure regulator and inside water disconnect.  I have another valve outside at the meter that is easy to access if I need to turn off whole house water and don't want to duck under.

But I do agree, the process needs to continue.  I've spent many evenings in the space, starring and visualing.  I think my next step is to sketch a few different versions of potential benchwork and try to adapt some similar track plans to them.
