I think you have a good selection, but my personal choice would be to
forget the A-143-3 and get another VCO or two instead - you can
always use them at low frequencies and LFOs are overrated generally.

You will need VCAs, the A-132 looks like a good option. The multimode
filter is a bit of a gamble and I would probably go for a dedicated
low-pass and save up for a Hi-pass later.

Think of the module selection on a Korg MS-10 (one of my favorite
live performance synths) - 1 VCO, 1 VCF, 1 ADSR, 1 VCA, 1 LFO - and
you'll realise that you don't need loads of modules to create some
very fine, expressive and useful sounds.

best of luck
