What an exuberant, exciting OGR - full of creative development and 'things tried'. The good news is that your final painting looks to be a sensible compromise between your buildings and more 'implied' landscape elements, thus freeing you up a bit. I actually like the low angle version of 101, as it creates a human-scale feeling of 'arriving' at this remarkable and strange place. I also like the painterly quality of the water element and your resolution of the scaffolding. My sense is, with everything you've got on your plate here, you could still drop the 3D green shrubs/trees from your composition, as I think they may end up looking like architectural elements anyway in terms of 3D models. I think I'd rather be looking at more of your buildings!
So - short version is 'yes' - go for it - but when it comes to building the digital set, don't be shy about shifting the camera about before you commit to a final shot to explore the potential of your low-angle image. Onwards!
