Put in a second joystick so you can play Robotron.  Looks fine to me for a 1 player control panel.

Make the second one a topfire stick and you can play Battlezone too.

You will end up showing this off to your friends - add a player 2 button to support alternating player games.  It's only another two bucks and a hole.

If you decide to go with the second joystick (as has been suggested), you could still have room for a spinner my making it "slightly modular" and having an interchangeable trackball mounting plate and spinner mounting plate.  They both connect on more or less the same interface.

This is not intended to last forever, because I eventually plan to build a cabinet.

This should be the perfect cabinet for your control panel - The LustreKing Bowling Ball Polisher. ;D

Also, move your buttons 1-7 up a little higher so that your hands will rest parallel to each other when playing.
I was thinking the same thing myself.
