Since Bohemia-Moravia seems to be the largest sticking point, I'll drop it from my wishlist. We now have what is effectively a Prussia-Poland-Saxony (that may at a later date make a swipe for Galicia and/or the Baltics).
With it's industrial potential limited to Silesia, Saxony and possibly Berlin and Warsaw, can it stay afloat?
In terms of population it would have about 12 million people in 1815 (btw, one part of the czech crown it could realistically get is Upper Silesia though, which would be a rather major coalfield and could boost Prussian industry). Poles would be a third of the population, and there would be no significant minority otherwise (nothing on the scale of Austria-Hungary) besides the Silesian Czechs who would be drowned in the predominantly german population of Silesia for most of the period. It less than but close to OTL Prussia post-Napoleonic wars. If it makes a pass at Galicia later it pushes the polish half of the Prussians closer to 45-50%. So ethnically it will be very divided and a "Polish Compromise" may well end up having to happen with the polish provinces (so Poznan, Little Poland, Great Poland, Mazovia and later Galicia and Volhynia; the Prussian crown would still likely count West Prussia as German). Industrially, it swaps industrial regions for industrial regions but will be a bit less industrial than OTL I guess.
I'd say it's viable so long as Austria and Russia don't try to do too much, but it might well end up torn apart by German unification, since it would be much smaller than Austria (about 1/3 to 1/2 the population, not much wealthier)
