You will be assimilated, resistance is futile 
Sorry couldn't resist. DIR gear rocks, go for it! I would say that though

That's what I've done - works great for me.Absolutely no reason why you can't cherry pick kit config ideas from any system (DIR or otherwise) to suit you. Go for it.

As a matter of interest, what is it that makes you not "want to go down the DIR route"? If you were talking to Leigh then no doubt he would have mentioned how much he got from the training despite having done all the diving he had done!I have of late thinking about a change to my equipment, I don't want to go down the DIR route however the thing that appeals to me is the neat / tidy configuration to their equipment. ( not that I am an underwater tramp)
I was recently in Sharm and done a few dives with a guy called Leigh Cunningham, a very knowledgeable chap whos brain I picked on a few gear related topics. He gave me a loan of one of his Halcyon wings which I liked so that was another reason for this possible change.
Just puting this out there to see if people reckon its a good idea or not.
Not planning on changing all my gear, just wing, stages and maybe a couple of other little bits.

You are not wrongi have just moved from a bcd to a wing oph etc
and i do like how relativly uncluttered i feel. i do need to tweek my rig a little to get it all sorted.
i do need to get a few more bits n bobs like a second thigh pouch, and sort out my D rings a little better but it does feel very comfy. i am glad i was adivised to not get the bolt on adjustable harness i was looking at.
as to going DIR.
tbh i would conisder it to see what the fuss is but frankly im not prepared to dive in a drysuit and i doubt very much that my bungeered duel bladder wing and wetsuit combo will be aceptable to them.
if im wrong tell me so i am corected for all to see.
