    Have you thought about how you will operated the VFD controls, in my opinion I would not mount the VFD inside the control box.
    All the grounding sheaths should go to one central point ie star to avoid ground loops. The drivers should not be daisy chained like you have shown take each driver supply back to the PS. It is generally not needed to screen the signal wires (I tend to use cat5) You don't show any E-stop.
    .
    Keep the cables from the drivers to the steppers as far away as possible from any signal wires.

    Good luck with the build.
