Whats the reason y'all went OLKB?
And indeed quantitative studies tend to show that Colemak can be very good for other languages, for instance French: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation (although you need to modify it slightly to add accented characters to reasonable spots). Interestingly enough, French variant of Qwerty (Azerty) is much worse than Colemak or anything.

Colemak is also very good for programming (and if you're programming you're writing in English), there's an interesting website where you can upload a large chunk of text that you've typed and it will show you a heat map of the keyboard, that will give you an idea on which layouts are good for the texts you usually type https://www.patrick-wied.at/projects/heatmap-keyboard/

This is my church’s keyboard.
That's all keyboards. Most common letters are on the left side of the keyboard. With the exception of I and O, since they're vowels. copy and paste some text into this website. if enough words are typed, the same trend appears over and over.
