I have another wedding to attend on March 2nd, and have been thinking of
building a 'compromise' flash combo.

You're correct with the math: GN approx. 28 (meters, ISO 100). Right at
the F280 flash power and not much under a T-32's.
I used something similar to test what using a pair of T-32's would do: one
in a BG-2 and the other in the hot shoe shooting mostly horizontals. There
were some shadows, but they were filled by the other flash and not nearly
as harsh as would result from a single flash. The difference is both were
still above the lens, so the shadows were down slightly. Examples:

Without a winder, think about hot shoe with one and the other on top of a
left hand grip. Right hand works focus, shutter release and wind lever.
With a Winder or Motor Drive, keep the one in the hot shoe, but move grip
to right with electrical button cabled to winder for shutter release; left
hand takes care of focusing.
(Why can't life be simpler, just use the Epic? and not look stupid.)

I *never* worry about looking "stupid."
I worry about the photograph(s) that will result instead! :-)
