I've already considered to use a centrifugal clutch, like the one used in the Mobylette, for space-saving reasons instead of a CVT.

Clutch, if you used a bike lower end you could also use the bike clutch and reduction ratios for the diesel engine. Remove the crankshaft and replace it with a through shaft, with a belt pulley on one end or the other. Epoxy is your friend.
Making it fit to a tight dirt-bike frame is the problem, due to the engine's size.
