Curious as to why you guys don't just use a multi-channel fan controller like this
https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Commander-Channel-Controller-AC-024-BN1NAN-A1/dp/B01B9618C2/ or this https://www.amazon.com/Kingwin-Controller-Individual-Controls-Independent/dp/B00P2PNOJM/ even cheaper.
Just wire each led channel in series on to each channel on the controller. do the same with all the fans too.
You could even use one of these https://www.amazon.com/Phobya-Splitter-4-Pin-Molex-3-Pin/dp/B007S3T4O0/ for each channel to plug into if you don't want to solder.
I'll draw up a quick diagram if you are interested. It's quite simple really since the dimming is all voltage controlled. No pwm needed.
Also you should conformal coat the joints to avoid things shorting out.
