A=e is the optimal condion for minimizing propagation delay, which is in tens to hundreds of pico seconds for most low votage processes. This is a relatively insignificant amount for the ns range of rise/fall time in PWM circuits. However, you need to pay the premium of added inverting stages which increases your die area... not a good design practice. Like somebody said in previous reply, you are way conservative in choosing A. For all practical purposes, A should be much larger than 3. A=10 is an OK number.
The ONLY design may use A=3 is in high speed ADC circuits.
