So how would you lay out a freewheel to take advantage of this crank? My guess is that the overlaps would defeat the purpose.
Actually, I think that combo will be particularly ugly .

If the goal with a triple crank is to achieve lower gears then this one doesn't get you there. If on the other hand it is to get closer ratios then this one is spot on.

Yep, can't be a 32 with a 144 BCD. In fact I can't see the point of a 144 BCD triple at all, but honestly there's not a lot of downside either. It could be worse, it could be a 151 BCD triple:
