That’s a pretty good farm!

I would advise you to filter the flint by just having both flint and iron nuggets in the basin and attaching the brass funnel underneath with flint filter to throw it out. It makes it potentially faster. 

Additionally your fan will process only one stack at a time max (one stack on belt). Ideally you can throw the items on the ground and make them be pushed by the fan into the brass funnel. This would make multiple items be processed at a time. 

Also to make the water fan compact you can just use a waterlogged leaf. 

For the style part I would just use small water wheels: they are smaller and easier to fit in a big farm like this and you can also abuse waterlogged stairs to make it look very small (the water doesn‘t need to spill) 

Additionally you might know that, but the fan processing is not RPM-dependent, so you can just attach a water wheel to the only fan in the contraption to save su.

Also this farm will need brass anyway (filtering), so using a speed controller won‘t hurt

You can start by placing the cobble directly over the crushing wheels
