Although I've moved on from tiny-pedal builds, I was able to put top jacks in 1590B. It's a squeeze, but possible. You have to use very narrow jacks.
Mini Pedal format?

Your idea needs a few paradigm shifts that I don't see happening. But it's a fun exercise nonetheless!

Side jacks on a 125b... You might go to hell for that
Which level of hell is that? Because it gets worse:Side jacks on a 125b... You might go to hell for that
I’ve been able to get 1/4 TRS intended for PCB mount to fit as top jacks on a Gorva M45, which is only slightly larger than a 1590A
I liked that this pcb is small enough to fit into a 1590A. I assumed I would just build it in a 1590B so I could fit top jacks. Then I came across the Gorva M45. Just a bit bigger.
I would have preferred to save my pcb-mount stereo jacks, but that’s ok because it helped me finish the build.
This thing is loud. It’s well above unity before you even get to 9 o’ clock. It’s simple, and fun.

If I can't fit KLBM3 jacks in a build, these are the ones I use. I've spotted them used in Boss pedals, even. Can also find them on AliExpress but the price is a wash after the faff, so I just stick to Tayda.
I will add, that after measuring them, pancake jacks will barely fit nicely with the DC barrel Jack.
I fit a Prunes and Custard in one of them with top jacks - very cool, very fiddly.I’ve been able to get 1/4 TRS intended for PCB mount to fit as top jacks on a Gorva M45, which is only slightly larger than a 1590A

I used Limburgh jacks (or decent quality equivalent) and 9mm pots.
I've actually got two test enclosures left somewhere so should make something else to go in them

This inspired me to take a pic of my pedals with impractical side jacks. Three of these are my fault. The other two are a standard Boss pedal and a EHX Battalion. The Battalion even has a gain knob that pokes out on the left side. Notice how none of the jacks on anything line up very well with the next pedal. Hooking this all together would take up more space even with right angle cables.
The wood they're on measures 19.5" x 5.5" for reference. Battalion is actually the same size as the 1590XX on the left. The light blue reverb is a 125B and the fuzz is a 1590A.
I'm only going with top jacks in the future. Preferably in a 125B or 1590BB2. I've finally learned my lesson.

From factor to me is a balance. I work in user experience and form and function is top of mind. Too small and it's a right PitA. Big for the sake of big/nostalgia building irks me quite a bit.
1590B feels nice, right in the middle, but can't fit a BF-2 in one… with thru hole, anyway.
