This is our family's first tank and last night we played tetris with our rock. We assembled them in various configurations and I took pictures of them all. Today everyone looked over all our various configurations and this one was the "winner." Does anyone see anything that we may regret if we place this in the tank? Our intent is a mixed reef. Being our first, we don't know if this formation may cause us headaches in the future. Thoughts?

Looks good. You should be able to clean the sand bed with this setup. Lots of places for coral placement. Be sure you leave room between the rocks and the sides of the tank for cleaning
 
It looks very cool, however, there aren't very many places to put corals. Consider adding some low rocks in front of the arch to give you more room.
 
Looks good! I would echo the same that coral placement will be tough. You could take some rubble rock and add small "shelfs" all over the structure and that could be your coral placement spots
