After reviewing exactly 3 sets, I have come to the conclusion that GMK Olivia is the closest one to this set. In addition, GMK Gonzales would be a great member in the GOAT category along with Olivia.

The third set was Troubled Minds, right? With less contrast between alphas and mods, I think you're OK.

Actually, the 3 sets I looked at were: GMK Olivia, GMK Olivia++ and GMK CYL Olivia Nš3....

Some generally stylistic, and mostly kitting-related but some changes I'd suggest:
Given the classic & Cadet styling of the set--
1. Nav cluster legends: "Print - Scroll - Pause" to OG-styled "Prt Sc / Sys Rq - Scroll Lock - Pause / Break", this will also be consistent with the two-line "Num Lock" legend.
2. Numpad sublegends: Adding sublegends (navigation, arrows, etc) to numpad number keys. This would go nicely with the busier Cadet look on the alphas, as well.
3. Duplicates: R1 Tilde key and R2 1.5 Pipe key are redundant. Remove.
4. Remove R3 Pg Up and R4 Pg Dn from Base, in favor of moving 2u / 2.25u spacebars (and maybe also 6u bar + 2x R4 1.5u Super) to Base. I personally would advocate for a more compatibility-focused base kit. The second B is in base, but the spacebars to go with it are split off.
5. Adding 2x R4 1.5u Super to any of the two kits (as they're currently absent).
6. Stylistic, but I'm not sure if it's preferable to force accent Esc/Enter for 40s compatibility. Perhaps you have better survey/data on this. Consider changing to regular modifier colors.
7. Purely a designer's choice here-- but would consider moving arrow accents to child kit so that the 2u / 2.25u / 6u spacebar compatibilty stuff can make it to Base.

First of all, really great suggestions written here. Thanks a lot for this comment, you can see some implementations in the kits.

Looking good!
However, I don't agree with moving the B to the spacebar kit. The base kit is CR and anyone who has bought a black set in the last couple of years probably already has a few extra Alice spacebars. Having to buy a separate spacebar kit just to get the B doesn't feel right.
