The Shennong SDB-3 looks like it has a bit of a low power-to-weight ratio, but I'm not sure it's unrealistically low; I think it should probably do.

I can't see the Shennong ST-203 drawing.

Ah, I see it now. Looks quite sleek, almost like a B6N with a powered turret; seems to be slightly at odds with the slow speed in the specs.

I'm concerned the torpedo perhaps needs to be shorter - the warhead there is sure uncomfortably close to where the propeller is!

Torpedo can be shortened :)

Yes, it looks great. The shortened Torpedo was an important addition.
Always liked the japanese-style light-bombers/torpedo bombers. Concerning their aesthetics (especially the C6N and D4Y) they are far superior to those clumsy TBF and ugly Helldiver planes.
