Have you asked Firefly their thoughts on this from a handling perspective? It's not hard to make a bike with 430mm chainstays feel snappy - they'll be able to build what you want.
Personally, I have no interest in bikes with super short rear ends - but there is also someone here looking to do things like offset seat tubes and such to shorten the chainstays. These are all opinions but none of them are truly valuable to your pursuit. Firefly will surely alter things to suit - such as the BB drop, front center length, STA, etc so your weight balance and the bike's handling are aligned for your riding regardless of the CS length you're choosing. 5mm is not a huge difference in CS length considering it is unlikely to be altered without other considerations.
