Well shoot, ole' Drippy did it. Congrats.
YOU DO NOT WANT LONGER CRANKS ON AN EBIKE!!!!!!!!! I want really short cranks probably 160 a whole 10mm shorter than I normally ride pedal strike is real and a pain in a arse. Trust me the bottom bracket or what would be that area is generally quite low and if you saw my crank arms they look like crap (and not just because they aren't Scottish) they are torn up because they are simply too long.
However changing cranks and cassette is fine and that wouldn't cause issue. It is when you change the whole drivetrain to say Enviolo or Rohloff E-14 or something like that or if you are changing wheel sizes that causes the big issues.
A non aligned magnet will cause a ton of issues namely probably not actually working right at all.
