You have to calculate that geometry (ray tracing, & behaviour @ LF.) vs speaker dispersion etc.

1:1:1 is unlikely to be it.

No angle is better yes

I thought of using shock absorbers like this one for the speaker ground: DRD45 45 Shore High Deflection Rubber Flange Mount | IAC Acoustics

Do you think this is okay?

You will never load these properly following this diagram (Old Genelec Drawing IIRC). Sadly your speakers wouldn't load even one sufficiently.

Even if you dummy load the system, then these will remain very soft and the whole speakers will move/shake. Which is not good.

Think out of the box

I Wouldn't base decoupling scheme on these old drawings. I think they are technically misleading: there is no way this is going to work well. They describe pretty much one of the worst possible way to do it. :(
