I field tested our direct drive kit for a month before we made it all available, so I think the problem may indeed be your mount. I'm unsure what your design is, though.

If it is, a new mount is far cheaper to make than buying a new coupling. But cutting the motor shaft back is excessive.

It works fine, never had a single problem with it despite it being somewhat cheap.  But I also do not use that same printed mount.

I have done this on all of my printers, 2 of which have our designed mount installed with the coupling we offer. The worst I have noticed with jaw couplings is separation, but this is easily avoidable with either several M6 washers or even a printed spacer, which is my preferred solution.
If you had to cut the motor shaft, I would like to ask where you bought the coupling from. Do you have a link?

I was going to put a digital voltage display from Adafruit on the power supply as well, but ultimately wired it directly to the Printrboard.

I bought a Hobb Goblin from Printit too, but haven't installed it yet.
