I know this is old but stumbled upon this earlier which appears to be like a gergoplex with a trackpoint as an option:

here's the github: https://github.com/idank/spankbd

 

Not sure if you're up to go get the PCB printed yourself and interested in similar options:

This one has longer vertical thumb keys: https://github.com/erkannt/neuro36

Really far away thumbs: https://github.com/sboysel/giraffe36

 

One that seemed to have the thumbs farther was draculad, farther than microdox:

Seen a few places selling kits.

https://keebd.com/en-us/products/draculad-keyboard-kit

 

There are a fair amount of handwired ones, prototypes, higher key count boards or 2 key thumbs as options for farther away thumb clusters as well. You could also try to get more than 3 thumb keys and not use the ones too close to your thumb.

Might be worth looking through if you haven't already:

Honestly could swear I had seen more, but when I checked 3w6, waterfowl, or several others it was just really long thumb clusters. Not actually lower down on the board away from the alphas sadly.
