Saboelte,
No expert here! I am sure some smart people will be with you soon. But, even with pellet feeding, I would stock a forage base of fh or another kind of minnow. Shellcrackers or res are great for parasite control and fun to catch. Hbg and hbc will both reproduce as will f1 lm as far as I know, so angling control or predator control is important or you can end up with hungry, stunted fish or, worse, O2 crash from too much biomass. Your aeration should enable you to keep more fish healthy than if you had no aeration.
I love your fish diversity though, do you know people that would eat some cull fish of lm and bc? Lm and maybe bc are not easily pellet trained, but some have done it. Minnows are good for the smaller ones. the offspring of bg and other fishes will make up large parts of the diet once they get a bit bigger.
Catfish are certainly not imperative! Do you have any drainage from other bodies of water that could cause other fish species to be introduced? That type of thing (or bucket stocking) has caused many plans to go awry.
Maybe think about stocking some forage this fall, and add some predators next year?
