I may not know much about warp theory, but I do know the Nebula Class looks ridiculous.

Imagine the TNG opening but with the Nebula Class Enterprise D zooming across and also the theme is played on a tuba.

    Thinking about it, I feel like having the nacelles as close to the middle of the ship might actually make more sense. If they’re creating a warp bubble around them, it would be centred on the nacelle, so having it centrally placed would balance the ‘amount’ of warp bubble around the entire ship

      The old school justification for ship designs having the nacelles far from crew-occupied parts of the ship was that they were powerfully dangerous. That really isn’t a thing any more, which has freed the model designers to make some creative new shapes, which is pretty cool. (I still love the iconic old designs though.)
