Adaptive optics for a small telescope

I wouldn't waste effort trying to make the kit fit into a 1.25" form
factor - most serious amateurs (if you're talking about metre scale
telescopes, then you're talking about quite seriously committed amateurs) will
have taken the plunge to use 2" eyepieces etc.

On the other hand we have little experience with astronomy and therefore any
advice would help.

Odd. I can't think of any other field than astronomy with a real need
for AO. Might just be my lack of imagination though.

3. The system will require an additional laptop computer to run the AO and
will add to the complexity of the telescope setup.

Will it? The AO would need to be operating while your imager is
accumulating photons, but that accumulation does not really need the active
participation of the computer. While you're reading the imager though, you
don't really need the AO to be operating. Do you?
