It sounds like you are stuck on the inline option. When I worked for GM back in the day we pioneered the BAS system =
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAS_Hybrid
This is a simple setup that allows you to use your transmission gearing thus allowing a much smaller more efficient E-motor. This also allows you to replace the alternator with the much more powerful E-motor. A setup like this could be implemented easily and for much less I imagine. This setup would more than handle what you are proposing for low speed stop and go purposes.
When you go inline you need a much larger E-motor because it is going after the transmission not allowing gearing advantage. You can easily purchase a 20kw peak Brushless permanent magnet motor that weighs around 10lbs that would do the job no problem. I have a custom electric supercharger setup that replaces the alternator and also can drive the car if desired.
This is another option that I thought I would point out
