I would have put the Clone Wars as ending much earlier - old EU sources established the Clone Wars ending 35 years before ANH - plenty of time for the Jedi to fall into myth.

1st- welcome to the sub forum. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and it's always fun to see some new ideas.

2nd- on the timeline... I used to fancy a different timeline than what I'm working with now- and it's because it was full of inconsistencies that I just hadn't realized yet. I wanted my PT to be 30-35 years prior to the OT, not 15-20. However, I realized that Luke and Leia are no more than 18 in ANH, which means they were conceived (assuming human reproduction) no more than 19 years before ANH. I assume Anakin sired the twins before turning to the Dark Side... So this means his turn is within 19 years of ANH. Depending on how your clone wars story related to Anakin's turn... you may have a math problem on your hands.

One solution that was borne on these boards, I believe, was the "multiple clone wars" thing. That way, the plural of "war" makes more sense (though this is not required) but it also allows you to create a more epic scope of the wars in general and if you show the last clone war, you can imply whatever you want about the previous ones.
