Dude, I AM thinking of this from a practical perspective, and I still cannot see any reason to put mag pouches there. If you really need quick access and a lightweight rig, there are better ways to carry mags then putting them on the shoulder straps of a hydration bladder. I admire your attempts to think out of the box, but this is a solution to a problem that has long been solved.

Taking time to remove my 3point sling & hydration system off my back to get a mag out while under fire? That there wouldnt be the smartest thing to do.
By having the pouches on the shoulder straps, it is MUCH quicker to get a magazine out when its time to reload.
Final thoughts are having the bottom of the pouches at about belly button level. Leaves lots of room above for me to shoulder my primary and it wont interfere with my sling then.
Going to Daves this afternoon to play around with all sorts of pouches, So hopefully might have something done by then. (BTW Anyone need anything from there? PM If ya do.)
