Regarding toe overlap - I own a road Pinarello bike that is fairly tight (for a road bike).
Never had any problem with cages, nor with SPD-SL.
Recently, I swapped pedals for SPDs and bang! - my foot stuck between the front wheel and the downtube while turning left :-)
Cranks can't change much. 170mm, 165mm? Pedals can do a lot, cleats can be moved...
