NYGM can't be merged with GWX, nor can WAC.
Most of the things you asked for (better environment, better explosions, more ships, and so on) are already in GWX. There are various other environment and explosion mods out there as well, but most of them will break things in GWX and you said compatibility was a big issue, so, it's up to you if you want to try them.
There are also various GUI mods available and I'd recommend trying them. Check out Mikhayl's GUI, Hitman's GUI and my OLC GUI (in the OLC 'Gold' mod) for starters. They're all GWX compatible.
You might also want to check out Longer Repair Times (LRT). I've never used it but many high-realism players like it, and I think there is a version for GWX3.
