Firewire to Thunderbolt 3 on Intel MB

I really want to go small form factor (mini ITX or Intel Skull Canyon) but also have to have firewire to connect to a Saffire pro 40 and can't use a PCIe slot as I need a graphics card.

Is it a bad idea to connect a firewire to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and then connect that to a thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter then to the motherboard/NUC? 

 

Unless there's a thunderbolt 3 to firewire adapter out there I haven't found yet....

 

Any thoughts appreciated.

Well there is a apple thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 and thena a thunderbolt 2 to firewire, that shoudl work.

Yeah, in theory it "should" work. However, I don't know if I want to base everything off that and buy a whole system before finding out I can't use the firewire device.
